Science

Science, by definition is…

…the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence…or…

…a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe…or…

…the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained…or even…

…knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method.

No matter the definition, science is how many sentient species, like the Guardians of the Universe who swear by it, acquire knowledge. It is 1 of the many ways intelligent creatures, like humans, have come to understand their world. Of course, some species like the Science Guild of planet Krypton or the Kree of planet Hala worship science. They refuse to believe in anything accept what they touch and study; anything that cannot be explained is simply misunderstood and view any magi as merely fools. The people of the planet Almeracia use science for genetic alterations to maximize their military might. However, there are no end to those who would abuse the very sciences created for benevolent use.
