Practically all people (21) a desire to predict their future (22) . People seem inclined to (23) this
task using causal reasoning. First, we generally (24) that future circumstances are (25) caused or
conditioned by present (26) . We learn that getting an education will (27) how much money we
earn later in life and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy (28) with a shark.
Second, people also learn that such (29) of cause and effect are probabilistic in nature. That is,
the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are (30) -but not always.
(31), students learn that studying hard (32) good grades in most instances, but not every time.
Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more explicit and (33)techniques for
dealing (34) them more rigorously than does causal human inquiry. It sharpens the skills we
already have by making us more conscious, rigorous, and explicit in our inquiries.
In looking at ordinary human inquiry, we need to (35) between prediction and understanding.
Often, we can make predictions without understanding. And often, even if we don
’ t understan why, we are willing to act (36) the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.
Whatever the primitive drives or instincts that (37) human beings, satisfying them depends
heavily on the ability to predict future circumstances. The attempt to predict is often played in a
(38)of knowledge and understanding. If you can understand why things are related to one another,
why certain regular patterns (39), you can predict better than if you simply observe and remember
those patterns. Thus, human inquiry aims (40) answering both“ what” and
“ why” questions, we pursue these goals by observing and figuring out.
