Scientific Attitudes
Science had its beginning when man started asking questions about his environment. He wondered where the sun went at night and why the sky was blue. He questioned why the wind blew and the leaves fell. He sought answers to these and other questions. Not all(部分否定) his answers were correct, but at least he did want to know.
