      %SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE REALITY OBJECT+940404
    %HYPOTHESIS STRUCTURED EXPERIMENT ANALYSIS VIEW 940404

    Scientific evidence in support of  molecules,   atoms,
elements,   electrons,   protons and neutrons has not been
gathered  in the absence of assumptions,   hypotheses  and
beliefs  in  such elementary realities.   The analysis  of
such  evidence which has been gathered in support of  such
elementary  realities---has been carried out in the  light
of  assumptions,  hypotheses and beliefs which have  taken
such elementary realities seriously.  Objective scientific
realities  are the  creations  of  specific sets of  human
assumptions,  hypotheses and beliefs which have guided the
search for and analysis of empirical evidence---in keeping
with  priorities  which have been set in reflexive ways by
humans  in terms of human ideals,  values and goals  which
have  been  expressive  of scientists'  personalities  and
their cultural contexts.

    Scientists'   theories regarding  objective  realities
have not evolved independently of scientists' assumptions,
hypotheses, beliefs, values, ideals, and goals.  They have
evolved in interdependent ways.

    Many assumptions,  hypotheses,  beliefs,  convictions,
assumptions,   hypotheses,  ideals and values have  placed
constraints   upon   what  kinds  of  evidence  has   been
recognized,   found  and  regarded as  both  relevant  and
important.  Much   potential evidence  has  been un-sought
and/or  ignored  when encountered.    It is also true that
many  assumptions,  theories,  beliefs and hypotheses have
not  survived in the face  of  contrary evidence which was
compelling, even  to scientists who did not seek it or who
sought to ignore it.
