1720-René Réaumur submits a report to the Paris Academy of Sciences proposing that a brief Noachian flood cannot account for the thick sedimentary layers (composed largely of broken shells) underlying the region of Tours.
1723-Antoine de Jussieu addresses a paper to the Académie des Sciences suggesting that an ancient object, e.g., a stone tool, made of the same material and by the same process as those used by a modern population probably has the same function.

 Pasteur, fermentation, contagion, and proving a negative
Louis Pasteur is one of the greatest names in the history of science and medicine, chiefly because of his establishment of the germ theory of disease and his conclusive demolition of the then-prevalent evolutionary concept of spontaneous generation.
A recurring theme in antievolution literature is that if science cannot account for the origin of life, evolution is false, and that "spontaneous generation" was disproven, so therefore evolution is false.
Science is bound, by the everlasting law of honour, to face fearlessly every problem which can fairly be presented to it.

Science and mathematics have had many advances on which teachers must be updated.
Findings such as that more than 70% of the science teachers disagreed with the statement "Reform efforts in science are just another passing fad" should be viewed with a lens that focuses on the audience taking this survey.
Ninety-three percent think integrating science with math and technology is important, while 82% believe students learn best when the science content/strands are intertwined and connected.

 What Science Is   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Philosopher of science Karl Popper (Austrian, British, 1902-1994) proposed that a scientific model is falsifiable: that it admits disproof.
I go further: the entire content of science is false: models synopsize current available observations; scientists will make new observations in the future, some will notice similarities between previously-unrelated models that inspire them to propose more comprehensive models, some will find simpler and/or more apprehensable models that synopsize those observations.
Note that medicine and engineering are not sciences: they consist of applications of current technology to treat diseases and build bridges (etc.), not the collection of observations to test or improve models or propose new models, though some physicians and engineers may also do science.

 Science Timeline
In 1661, Robert Boyle, in the Sceptical Chymist, separated chemistry as corpuscles, from alchemy, as qualities, and gave the first precise definitions of a chemical element, a chemical reaction, chemical analysis, and made studies of acids and bases.
In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).

 Science done in an organization serves that organization, not the public!
Synopsis: Research performed and controlled by government agencies almost always departs from the "ideal" science in that its direction and results are manipulated to serve the purposes of the agency and its political base of support.
Scientists who defy agency superiors in the name of ethical science not only risk disapproval and censure by "the group," but also, under more extreme circumstances, may put their paycheck, career, and research opportunities on the line.
Given the monopolistic nature of some natural resource research, the increasing sociopolitical pressures to subvert science, and the tempo of many natural resource conflicts, however, this venue may not be sufficient.

 DARWINISM: SCIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY? Chapter 3
As a philosopher of science, I also appreciate the title of Professor Ruse's paper; I too believe that an idea can be both a philosophical preference and a scientific inference.
Recent work in philosophy of science on something called the "demarcation problem" suggests that it may be difficult to separate philosophical and scientific considerations in part because both science and philosophy share a common concern with explanation.
Establishing a rigid line of demarcation between science and philosophy is especially difficult in the vexing world of origins research.

 Spirits, Witches & Science
Of course, the laws of science contain no matter and have no energy either and therefore do not exist except in people's minds...It's best to refuse to believe in either ghosts or the laws of science.
In order to explain how and why the rise of modern science became tied to beliefs in spirit phenomena in mid-17th-century England, I think we need to discuss briefly a continental phenomenon at the end of the 16th century, and look at the impact it had on early 17th-century English religious developments.
A serious and concerted attack on beliefs in witchcraft and demonic possession had been launched at the end of the 16th century in connection with a series of spectacular exorcisms that were quite literally staged before thousands of witnesses in France between 1566 and 1599.

 Freemasonry and Science
The Royal Society was in the British public mind synonymous with science, and for more than a century it, and its offshoots, were the only exponents and practitioners of science in Britain.
Sir Robert Moray was elected its first president, March 6, 1661 A.D.; he was made a Freemason at Newcastle-on-Tyne on May 20, 1641.
Desaguliers, who later became its secretary for a long period of years, was the "father of the Grand Lodge System." and was one of Sir Isaac Newton’s closest friends.
