Ah, the age-old debate of determinism vs. free will. If the universe is truly deterministic, does that mean we're all just puppets on a string? *cue dramatic music*

I'm going to go with B as well. Determinism and empiricism are two different philosophical concepts that can be in conflict.

This is a tricky one, but I think B is the answer. Empiricism is about relying on observations, while determinism is about the causal nature of the universe.

Hmm, I'd say D is the one that's not true of determinism. The universe being orderly and following universal laws is actually a core tenet of determinism.

But isn't A) Science is based on determinism also not true? Science can be based on other principles too, right?

I'm leaning towards C as the correct answer. All of science is based on the premise that the universe follows deterministic laws.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. Determinism is the idea that everything in the universe is caused by prior events, which is the foundation of science.
