 Science and ethics
John Ziman, the former Chairman of the Council for Science and Society, interprets ethics not as an abstract discipline but as a way of dealing with differing opinions that arise when traditional values are faced with new realities (Ziman, 2001).
The rapid development of modern science since the Renaissance is due mainly to the postulate that scientific theories should be independent of theological or religious beliefs.
In this context, science was not responsible for its applications, and even less for their subsequent use.

From John Hedley Brook, a science historian's perspective, the origin of the "conflict" myth began with Draper's 1874 diatribe against Catholicism "History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science", and further developed with White's 1896 defence of Cornell University's charter "A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology".
That is, the word "science" carries with it a lot of historical baggage, changing its meaning over the centuries, so that a modern definition is anachronistic and misleading if applied to even the 19th century, much less the 15th.
He proposed that the subject of science were the phenomena, what could be measured: height, weight, color, taste; whereas the subject of religion were the noumena, what only existed only in the thought: beauty, truth, holiness.

 The Denver Post - More math, science up schools' $$$
As the legislature considers requiring more math and science before Colorado students can graduate from high school, local school districts fear that the new rules could be expensive and leave many students behind.
Educators and politicians across the country are considering ramping up math and science standards, said Sandra Boyd, vice president of Achieve, Inc., a Washington, D.C., organization created by the nation's governors in 1996 to raise academic standards in high schools.
In the Boulder Valley School District, where students must take two years each of science and math, Samantha Messier, the district's K-8 science coordinator, is concerned that additional years would mean more textbooks, labs and safety showers.

 The Scientists: Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727).
It is said that Edmund Halley (yes, the man who had a comet named after him) came from Oxford in 1684 (the other camp) with the view of consulting with Newton on a rather esoteric question concerning the centripetal forces of the universe.
It immediately became the mathematical instrument for all understanding of variables and motion, and hence of all mechanical engineering, and remained almost the exclusive one until well into the present century.
In a very real sense it was as much an instrument of the new science as the telescope."11

 GENETIC DETERMINISM AS A FAILING PARADIGM IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE--JSWE Vol. 39 No. 2 (Spring/Summer 2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It is enough to state the minimum conclusion that medical/behavioral genetics, with a linear view of gene-disease causality, finds itself in serious debate with a significant segment of its parent science, population genetics, which sees complex traits, including disease, as highly interactive and impossible to reduce to genetic elements alone (Figure 5.1).
Causality, however, is a complex subject that has plagued the scientific discourse ever since Aristotle laid down guidelines for distinguishing the various forms of causality and the trajectories leading from cause to effect.2 Efficient cause emphasizes workers as the agency or processes actually used for bringing agents together to build a usable structure.
In 20th-century biology, the pursuit of dynamic processes of efficient cause was assumed to be too difficult: its mechanisms were buried in evolutionary time and were inaccessible.

 Apologetics Press - Have Scientists Created Life?: Examining the Miller-Urey Experiment
In the past, the modus operandi was to teach the long-ago-disproved concept of spontaneous generation, hope that no one noticed the question of the actual origin of life had never been answered, and then teach the theory of evolution as if “somehow” the origin of life had been established as a fact.
It is because of this weakness that Stanley L. Miller himself refuses to let the idea of the spontaneous generation of life fade into oblivion.
In the September 19, 2002 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Miller and his colleagues described how they obtained bioorganic compounds utilizing carbon monoxide as a component in their model of the atmosphere (see Miyakawa, et al., 2002).
