Identify the incorrect statement about the nature of science.

• Speculation and conjecture also have a place in science, but ultimately a scientific theory, to be acceptable, must be verified by relevant observations and/or experiments

• Science is considered as value-neutral and objective, and the laws of science are viewed as fixed

• The methodology of science and its demarcation from other fields continue to be a matter of philosophical debate

• Even the most established and universal laws of science are always regarded as provisional, subject to modification in the light of new observations, experiments and analyses
