QUESTION: We have been addressing issues involving the line between science and art, between the objective and the subjective between absolute and relative truth. We have discussed ways in which science is subjective and makes arguments.

To what extent do you think science can be, or is, objective? Is any pursuit purely objective and true? If you ask me. The concept of science is the want of truth. Nevertheless, human concepts have a characteristic that make this concept easily to be modifiable. So, I can say that science is objective but humans not. Humans use concepts, sources and results as they want. For example, if anyone have a posture against the vaccines, there will be research that (perhaps are not true) people is going to consider that as science as true. In fact, science depends who do it, and unfortunate that being is always humans and I said humans are subjective. In summarize, I do think that science is the only way that humans can progress. We cannot just

think something and say that is true. That is exactly we need the scientific method to grant value to our arguments. Even if we question the stablished science. We are doing science. Because that is the essence of science, question everything, want to know why things are the way the things are. If you ask me for a pursuit purely objective. I will tell you that is almost impossible. Because the human being factor. This means that this part of the pursuit is completely responsibility of the person who is doing it and what is his porpoise. As I already said in this text the correct science depends in the message that you want to sustain, and if that is just for you own benefit.
