Let's take a brief explanation of these two 'super-powers'. Science is a system of knowledge that is concerned with the ph...

I would like to take it from there, and throw more light on it. "...Truth may however be subjective. For instance...

Logical consistency [Rational thinking] - this seeks to answer a basic question, "Is the claim being made logically consistent or there are obvious contradictions?" 2. Empirical adequacy - this a...
