In response to Austin's post:

Austin asked "Do you think that everything be based off of scientific research for the proof of something's cause?"

In my opinion, i dont think that science can explain absolutely everything. Most things, yes, are proved through research and studies to find out answers to the most puzzling questions. But some things i think just cannot be explained through science. You can explain why something is blue by getting extremely scientifical and saying that certain light gets refracted and reflected and all that but do we need to know all that every time we ask why something is blue; is that really why we want to know? And you cannot really explain why someone feels the way they do or acts the way they do. People may say, yes you can - through psychological science. Study the brain and people's behaviors. But can you prove those reasons are true jus through that research alone? And getting into religion, can science explain if their is a God? It seems that science is more directed to the physical aspects of proof and causes but not always everything else.

Can we really know for sure if psychology is true?
