ETHICS IN A NUTSHELL. Ethics: A branch of philosophy that comes from the Greek word ethos (ÎµÎ¸Î¿Ï ) meaning habit or custom.

As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena.

A clear distinction needs to be made between facts (things which can be observed and/or measured) and theories (explanations which correlate and interpret the facts. A fact is something that is supported by unmistakeable evidence.
