Abstract

Education informed by scientifically meaningful ideas is insufficient, unless the proposed scientific meaning is committed to a comprehensive web of well-evidenced, coherent, and truth-conducive explanations. Meaning without truth is potently misleading; of course, there is no simplistic way to ascertain truth, but there must be principled routes within science education to commit meaning to reality.
