What is science? We ask biologist Dr. Jonathan Wells in this episode of IDTF. Dr. Wells researched and wrote a lengthy report on the definition of science used by every state in the country, which was published by Discovery Institute. Now, as critics attack the definition being used in the Kansas state science standards, Dr. Wells explains what science is, what a proper definition of science is, and why Kansas is now in-line with every other state in the nation.
