my high school biology

my high school biology teacher had a poster, well, a piece of paper written on in sharpie, in his room that said "science is a continuing process of inquiry." So I read that every day and that became how I defined science. My bio teacher helped, too. He would answer questions with questions. I guess that's why I like science even though strictly speaking i'm not that great at it. Still, I think ultimately the goal of science is to discover “truth.” not that we should take everything we learn or see as true, but without striving to discover truth, even if we only ever see partial glimpses of it, what is the point of inquiry?
