Who, the history of important people related to the scientific inquiry.

While on the surface these worldviews conflict, this paper argues that there is a role for both. The Scientific Method Distinguishing science from other ways of seeking knowledge requires focusing on the scientific method. Fundamentally, this method involves a “merger of rationalism and empiricism” as scientists collect data and test hypothesis using the data (Jackson, 2009). Generally speaking, the scientific method consists of six steps, the first of which is to identify an empirically solvable problem (Jackson, 2009). Second, conduct a literature review to gain better understanding of past research on the topic.
