Following the guidelines of the Second Vatican Council, he wished to make clear that science has a legitimate freedom in its own sphere and that this freedom was unduly violated by Church authorities in the case of Galileo.
To the Greek and medieval mind, science was a kind of formalism, a means of coordinating data, which had no bearing on the ultimate reality of things.
Still, Galileo was the man of the hour; in 1611 he made a triumphant visit to Rome, where he was feted by cardinals and granted a private audience by Pope Paul V, who assured him of his support and good will.

 Online Etymology Dictionary
To blind (someone) with science "confuse by the use of big words or complex explanations" is attested from 1937, originally noted as a phrase from Australia and New Zealand.
Phrase cool as a cucumber (c.1732) embodies ancient folk knowledge confirmed by science in 1970: inside of a field cucumber on a warm day is 20 degrees cooler than the air temperature.
It is thus a cousin to science and conscience.

 Senate Proposal 21-01
The Professional Master of Science degree (Professional Science Master) is a self-contained, terminal, professional MS degree in a concentration area of science or mathematics, often in an emerging field that spans two or more traditional disciplines (e.g., bioinformatics, nanobiotechnology).
Profession Science Master's programs are not intended to substitute for the tradition, disciplinary MS programs with their emphases on basic science and research tailored to individual students.
It lists all the courses applied to the professional science master degree option, gives the advisory committee membership, provides an abstract of the practicum, and is endorsed by the student, the advisor, the program chair, the dean of sciences and arts, and the dean of the graduate school.

The science is now capable of identifying where earthquakes will happen and how big they might be, but such forecasts are valid only for intervals measured in decades or even centuries.
Once an event has occurred, there is very little time for warning and action; the fast-moving seismic ground waves do most of their damage in a macroseismic zone within the first minute or so after the rupture nucleates (1).
It is a national, nonprofit, technical society of engineers, geoscientists, architects, planners, public officials, and social scientists with the mission of advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering and the solution of national earthquake engineering problems to protect people and property from the effects of earthquakes.

 The Galileo Affair
The modern age of science began in 1543 when Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish Canon, published his epochal On the Revolution of the Celestial Orbs.
The almost universal belief that the purpose of science was not to give a final account of reality, but merely to "save appearances," accounts for how lightly the Church hierarchy initially received Copernicus's theory.
In December, 1614, a meddlesome and ambitious Dominican priest, Thomas Caccini, preached a fiery sermon in Florence denouncing Copernicanism and science in general as contrary to Christian faith.

 Integrated Science Model for Assessment of Climate Change
With this goal in mind, the science modules which estimate the effect of emissions of greenhouse gasses on global temperature and sea level are being developed.
This is a report of the current characteristics and performance of an Integrated Science Model which consists of coupled modules for carbon cycle, atmospheric chemistry of other trace gases, radiative forcing by greenhouse gases, energy balance model for global temperature, and a model for sea level response.
While the Integrated Science Model is not intended to estimate impacts, it is our hope that relation of emission rates to properties of climate will assist in evaluating policy options.

 The Galileo Affair
The Galileo affair is the one stock argument used to show that science and Catholic dogma are antagonistic.
Since the Galileo case is one of the historical bludgeons that are used to beat on the Church—the other two being the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition—it is important that Catholics understand exactly what happened between the Church and that very great scientist.
His friend Archbishop Piero Dini warned him that he could write freely so long as he “kept out of the sacristy.” But Galileo threw caution to the winds, and it was on this point—his apparent trespassing on the theologians' turf—that his enemies were finally able to nail him.

 The Galileo Affair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The case makes for such a neat morality play of enlightened science versus dogmatic obscurantism that historians are seldom tempted to correct the anti-Catholic “spin” that is usually put on it.
Different mathematical devices — such as the Ptolemaic cycles — could be advanced to predict the movements of the planets, and it was of no concern to the medieval astronomer whether such devices touched on the actual physical truth.
There is no question that if the debate over heliocentrism had remained purely scientific, it would have been shrugged off by the Church authorities.
