ABSTRACT
This chapter contains a very brief introduction to Science as one or many, followed by a thought experiment. It is followed by a short discussion and then a series of questions. It begins with hypothesis and prediction formation, involving testing that prediction, and then modifying the hypothesis as necessary. This is explains with the thought experiment which presents a case where two friends named Edwin and Melissa are arguing about religion. They are trying to decide which religion is true. The kind of view sketched in the thought experiment is a form of scientific pluralism. The questions are intended to get the philosophy students thinking about the problems. They have used these kinds of questions in seminars as the questions set for seminars, so they also think that they can be used to spark conversation and discussion. The chapter also gives a cursory sketch of some of the ways in which philosophers have responded to the thought experiment.
