Science is a process whose purpose is the pursuit of knowledge, a process which often overturns consensus. Osborne’s statements dismiss the scientific method, and critical thinking as a whole. This view of science would leave us in towards a dark age, with progress suddenly slowing to a halt. Osborne's view seems to be that knowledge is socially constructed, not based on evidence and measurements, with scientific discovery being reduced to the counting of hands. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/EqK_LFMCBekT_EMwN8zk6IHoTWGJVphJv3J2oDUJeR8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM2MDk5LzE2Njc5/MzQ0NDQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
