A set of steps are used by the scientific method to establish facts or generate knowledge. The general procedure is generally known but depending on what is being examined and who is performing it, each step's specifics may alter. Only questions that can be tested and either proven true or false can be answered using the scientific method. Although the scientific method has been the main method to prove if something is real or not. Especially in recent times, where man has abandoned the core pillars of tradition and religion that shaped the moral compass and society for millions of years to come Although scientists tend to apply scientific procedures more rigorously than other people do, we all do so regularly as we ask questions, analyze our surroundings, and make decisions. Acknowledging how much influence the scientific method has over our society today, it is far from the only way to verify facts from fiction. Before the infatuation we as a society had with science, there was religion. No culture in recorded human history has not practiced a particular religion of some kind. It was the point of reference for the world in general. The social premise of good and evil was shaped by religion, and the context of what exactly is good and what can be considered evil was shaped by religion. The scientific facts we know today. The Earth being round, Human beings being a product of evolution, the moon and the sun rotating around the earth, and The existence of other planets was hinted at or explored in great detail in some religious texts all over the world. Religious texts all over the world have in some shape or form predicted things that have happened and have yet to happen so when I see people say that the scientific method is the only way to verify what is facts and what is fiction I disagree heavily.
