The most basic premise of science is the belief that we exist in a rational universe.

By believing in a rational universe we empower ourselves to go forward with collecting evidence and then reasoning about that evidence to make tentative conclusions or hypotheses that can then be tested through experiments or further gathering of evidence. Eventually we are able to draw firm conclusions so as to make sense of the physical laws that govern our universe. Furthermore, for those that believe in a rational universe it is extremely troubling if ever the evidence does not seem to make sense, and this is a good thing because when a scientist comes across an oddity it drives their curiosity until they solve the puzzle. With each puzzle we solve we gain a better understanding of our universe.

Basic assumptions of science

1. Nature is orderly, i.e., regularity, pattern, and structure. Laws of nature describe order. 2. We can know nature. Individuals are part of nature. Individuals and social exhibit order; may be studied same as nature. 3. All phenomena have natural causes. Scientific explanation of human behavior opposes religious, spiritualistic, and magical explanations. 4. Nothing is self evident. Truth claims must be demonstrated objectively. 5. Knowledge is derived from acquisition of experience. Empirically. Thru senses directly or indirectly. 6. Knowledge is superior to ignorance.

There are no three basic tenets of science. Whoever claims that there are is a charlatan.
