Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page contention that uncreative robots can never be expected to be able to employ the
scientific approach that we characterize as the scientific method. The author relies on the book "No Stone Unturned: Reasoning About Rocks and
Fossils" by author E. Kirsten Peters to support this contention. No additional sources are listed.

upon very specific methodologies. These methodologies are collectively grouped under the term "scientific method". Although different branches of science investigate specific and greatly divergent phenomena, all utilize the
scientific method. In the book "No Stone Unturned: Reasoning About Rocks and Fossils" author E. Kirsten Peters explores the scientific method as it applies to geology. There are, however,
countless examples of how the scientific method comprises the core of the scientific approach. Interestingly, much effort has been underway to develop robots that were capable of employing the
scientific method. No such robots are currently in existence, however. The contention of this paper is that uncreative robots can never, in fact, be expected to be able
to employ the scientific approach that we characterize as the scientific method. Peters (1996) emphasizes the importance of scientific methodology in geology yet
at the same time she emphasizes the importance of human interpretation. Deduction is the process most commonly employed in science. In the deductive process the facts and circumstances
of a situation are weighed out and a logical decision is made utilizing those facts and circumstances. In induction the opposite process of deduction occurs, reasoning progresses from the
specific to the general. In reality both processes are important to the scientific method! Yes, geology is a specific science and one that is established based on established
facts. How those facts interrelate to one another is critical, however, in allowing the geologists to form conclusions. There are countless examples in the sciences when deduction alone
is not sufficient. Medicine, for example, is a science where robots could not be expected to perform capably. Medicine, of course, is typically envisioned as an encapsulation
