However‚ Krauss wants to exclude religion from science because he observes that there are ethical boundaries in science such as telling the truth‚ but the methodology is to exclude religion from education in general because religion is fiction with no empirical evidence to support it but only have ethics. Krauss justifies how science based

Text by Shariftz 2011‚ pg 318). March states that the power of power depends on the extent to which a predictive model requires and can make effective use of such a concept. What March is trying to say is that power is too broad a concept for our empirical understanding at this point and until we can define every variable involved in the exercise of power‚ power cannot be empirically defined.

An analytic statement is true (or false) just in virtue of the meaning of the words; “a bachelor is an unmarried man” is an analytically true‚ while “a square has three sides” is analytically false.
