3. Creativity and innovation are needed. Logical reasoning, with the assistance
of human creativity, gives rise to scientific knowledge. Creativity can be seen
as our ability to create new knowledge by rearranging the connections of known
elements. In science we often re-evaluate a theory when new evidence is
discovered. By using creativity, we often find new ways to reason about the
existing evidence and then create new possible explanations.
4. Science is subjective: Presently accepted scientific theories and laws
influence and drive the questions, investigations, and interpretations regarding
phenomena in the natural world. Scientists conduct their work based on these
accepted theories. Their own values, agendas and prior experiences have an
influence on their work. It is nearly impossible for a person to remove all of their
biases and, therefore, all scientific work has a small element of subjectivity
