When any scientific theory is first conceived and considered, bad science will usually give itself away with it's unsubstantiated claims and scarcity of evidence. On the other hand, Gould suggests, testable proposals and hypotheses that can be tested and measured using the scientific method are examples of good solid science. Good science doesn’t mean that it is perfect or complete but it does follow rational flows of thought, based on evidence and allowing for improvement or corrections as new discoveries are made. Let's take a look at two examples of scientific writing, both illustrating both bad and good
