Misconceptions
Overgeneralization: You can go out of order and still get the same results
Undergeneralization: Once we have the answer then we can take out the repeating step because we found the answer the first time
Scientif method not in use
personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena." If the hypothesis-testing process fails to eliminate most of the personal and cultural biases of the community of investigators, false hypotheses can survive the testing process and then be accepted as correct descriptions of the way the world works.
many of the crucial processes occurred in the past and are difficult to test in the present
personal biases are especially strong on topics related to origins because of the wider implications.
Skipping the testing and forming a conclusion based on reaserch only
