"doubts" in the subject line is correct usage, nonetheless.phinds said:

Well I would just like to ask for some help.phinds said:Yeah I know, and I generally bite my tongue but being the grammar Nazi that I am, I am not always able to restrain myself

@Pallavi, all this wrangling about a word is trivial compared to the excellence you will find here on PF. Again, welcome to the forum.

Your English seems quite good to me.
Pallavi, to repeat what I said in the previous post, this is a science forum. Factual statements are not intended to be "hurtful" and if they are, that is in the eye of the beholder, not something intended. It IS a fact that it's incorrect to teach that "doubt" means "question"Pallavi said:

The scientific method is a systematic approach used by scientists to answer questions and solve problems. It involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. This method helps to clear doubts by providing a structured and objective way to test ideas and theories.
Scientists determine the validity of a study or experiment by following the principles of the scientific method. This includes ensuring that the study is based on a clear hypothesis, using appropriate research methods, collecting reliable and unbiased data, and analyzing the results objectively. Peer review by other scientists also helps to validate the findings.
Evidence is crucial in clearing doubts as it provides support for or against a hypothesis or claim. Scientists gather evidence through experiments, observations, and data analysis. The more evidence that supports a hypothesis, the more likely it is to be accepted as true.
Conflicting evidence is common in science, and scientists use various methods to address it. This includes conducting more experiments, using different research methods, and seeking input from other scientists. In some cases, conflicting evidence may lead to the modification or rejection of a hypothesis.
Scientific facts are based on evidence and can be proven through experiments and observations. They are objective and can be replicated by other scientists. Opinions, on the other hand, are personal beliefs or judgments that may not be supported by evidence. The best way for the public to differentiate between the two is to look for reliable sources, such as peer-reviewed scientific journals, and to understand the scientific method.
