	Science
		Interestingly, religion and science are intricately connected, if not in their pursuit in proving the other wrong, then in the things they have in common -- and their (more often than not) contradicting explanations to the same things.
		Science, as represented by most modern technology research organisations, has a more open-minded "things are like they are because of so and so" attitude that is widely based on hard facts and logical deductions.
		Articles and television programmes on popular science (by people such as the ever-jolly James Burke) have made me see there seems to be more to the universe than meets the eye (or whatever measuring instrument you care to apply).

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to meter.

	Faith in Science
		Science involves looking at things around us, testing them, performing experiments and thinking about stuff, to determine what seems most likely to be true based on available evidence.
		Science can say, "We don't know this", but doesn't ask us to be happy with this answer, and encourages further investigation, questioning, and doubt.
		Also the term “belief in science” seems to carry nuances of absolute certainty, which are absent in anything that could be termed “scientific”.

	Science and Technology
		A vital treatise for succeeding generations, the Opticorum is of importance to the history of science for its clear explication of orthographic, stereographic, and scenographic projections intended for an audience of cosmographers, astronomers, navigators, military leaders, engravers, and painters.
		The rise of the exact sciences occurred in the context of the growth and consolidation of states in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		A major feature of eighteenth-century science was the attempt to systematize the various results of research and to make that system philosophically attractive.

		Notable works include Abu Bakr al-Razi's encyclopedia of science, the Mutazilite Al-Kindi's prolific output of 270 books, and Ibn Sina's medical encyclopedia, which was a standard reference work for centuries.
		But old encyclopedias should not be overlooked, especially for a record of changes in science and technology.
		The encyclopedia's hierarchical structure and evolving nature is particularly adaptable to a disk-based or on-line computer format, and all major printed encyclopedias had moved to this method of delivery by the end of the 20th century.

		Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.
		In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again.
		Where science has been used in the past to erect a new dogmatism, that dogmatism has found itself incompatible with the progress of science; and in the end, the dogma has yielded, or science and freedom have perished together.

		If scientific reports were filled with false data or misleading accounts of methods and procedures, the accumulated body of knowledge on which science is built would be shaky indeed.

		Some scientists spend much time and energy gathering and organizing data (referred to by some other scientists as "stamp collecting" in a somewhat disparaging way) arguing it is valuable in its essence, and that answers will arise from the resulting information.
		Other scientists argue that good science requires that one formulate a problem first, then design experiments etc. to gather relevant (important) information to solve the problem.
