What is scientific attitude?why is it necessary?
Scientific attitude is the acceptance of reason. “Science was born as a result and consequence of philosophy; it cannot survive without a philosophical (particularly epistemological) base. If philosophy perishes, science will be next to go…It is not the special sciences that teach man to think; it is philosophy that lays down the epistemological criteria of all special sciences.” http://aynrandlexicon.com/ If “A+D=X” then one must not vary from knowing that “X” is the truth. This was the importance of Galileo and the Copernican Revolution (as one example). The Church could not accept “X” because it would destroy the logic used by the church for 400 years. But because “X” was correct, the Church eventually had to accept the science.
