Science is a scientific process which uses scientific methods to obtain information, and it studies the facts within their relations, not individually. In this regard, individual facts and objects have no scientific importance. Therefore, science aims at observing and explaining the relations between facts which seem desultory at first (Yildirim, 1998). As a consequence, it can be said that scientific information includes the cause and effect relation. The cause and effect relation can be expressed by causality concept.
