  science. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Mathematics, while not a science, is closely allied to the sciences because of their extensive use of it.
The physical sciences include physics, chemistry, and astronomy; the earth sciences (sometimes considered a part of the physical sciences) include geology, paleontology, oceanography, and meteorology; and the life sciences include all the branches of biology such as botany, zoology, genetics, and medicine.
Science, in the modern sense of the term, came into being in the 16th and 17th cent., with the merging of the craft tradition with scientific theory and the evolution of the scientific method.

 Philosophy of Science, by Roger Jones
Science progresses when a theory is shown to be wrong and a new theory is introduced which better explains the phenomena.
Feyerabend agrees with Kuhn that the history of science is the history of different viewpoints, and for Feyerabend this means that what counts as 'knowledge' in the future may have paradigms we cannot yet know.
At the boundaries of science new paradigms are emerging to challenge the current orthodoxy, it is an open question as to how the science of the next century will develop.

 Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before.
In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

 Science
While employment of the labor force was managed by the central institutions of the communist state, research and development of new technologies—concentrated in science centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, and Academgorodok (Novosibirsk), the Siberian division of the Academy of Science—were predominantly directed at such selected problems as the defense industry and aerospace program.
The cost of science’s adherence to the free-market, however, comes with a benefit: Scientific advance inclines to have increasing returns to scale, that is, adding more scientists to a society increases individual marginal productivity.
As a result, much like most of her industries, Russia’s science community is constrained by the rules of the free-market, but does not take advantage of capitalism’s great benefit of competition and inherent stimulus for industries.

 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 not formal logic–it needs the free play of the mind in as great a degree as any other creative art.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

 Immanuel Kant
The differences between reality as seen in science and reality as seen in morality and religion reveal that there are aspects to existence that are not revealed by either datum alone.
His forehead, formed for thinking, was the seat of indestructible serenity and peace, the most thought-filled speech flowed from his lips, meriment and wit and humor were at his command, and his lecturing was discourse at its most entertaining.
The history of nations and peoples, natural science, mathematics, and experience, were the sources from which he enlivened his lecture and converse; nothing worth knowing was indifferent to him; no cabal, no sect, no prejudice, no ambition for fame had the least seductiveness for him in comparison with furthering and elucidating truth.

O Logic: born gatekeeper to the Temple of Science, victim of capricious destiny: doomed hitherto to be the drudge of pedants: come to the aid of thy master, Legislation.
The one [the logician] studies the science of drawing conclusions, the other [the mathematician] the science which draws necessary conclusions.
Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of.

 • SCIENCE INCARNATE ~
That alone makes science a massively special object of inquiry, for, as we have briefly suggested, the conditions affecting the interpretation of what counts as genuine knowledge and what as error, or knowledge of lesser value, clearly differ very significantly.
Yet this admitted specialness of science, and the distinctive conditions affecting inquiry about science, also prompt thoughts about the terms in which the historical and sociological interpretation of science may have wider interest and applicability.
Nor has science been the only form of culture to clothe its knowers in garments originally cut to fit the religious ascetic and to adapt to its purposes religious tropes of otherworldliness and self-denial.

Immanuel Kant was born in Koenigsberg, East Prussia on April 22, 1724.
The dogmatism of metaphysics that is the preconception that it is possible to make headway in metaphysics without a previous criticism of pure reason, is the source of all that unbelief, always very dogmatic, which wars against morality"[B xxx].
This shows that science must be limited and faith must prevail for without faith one is not moral, free, and thus God cannot exist nor can autonomy be achieved.

 Science information from Answerbag
"Science is a process for evaluating empirical knowledge (the scientific method), a global community of scholars, and the organized body of knowledge gained by this process and carried by this community (and others).
To add to some other good answers here, in the modern world science also works from certain assumptions: that physical phenomena both can be and should be explained in terms of physical causes, and that the fields of science should be attempting to explain the natural world without reference to the supernatural or spiritual.
And to simply declare that science can make no reference to a god, and here we are, so there must be such a force (which quite frankly is what often passes for origins science), is unsatisfactory.

 Science Questions
Perhaps the most pervasive unproven scientific belief is that our minds are the crowning outgrowth of physical matter, that material came first, and that mind evolved out of it.
However, physical sciences are by definition aimed at the physical world, and to generalize their views beyond physical reality is scientifically not justified.
A holistic logic system is postulated that unifies seemingly disparate concepts of physical science, psychology, philosophy, and religion.

These mills seem to be vertical-axis machines (see Scrapheap science) with multiple vertical sails, perhaps like the pumping machines still in use in China.
John Smeaton (1724-92) applied science to the design of windmills in 1759.
Using models, he determined the best parameters for blade size, shape, twist, revolutions per minute (rpm), ratio of tip speed to wind speed and so on - all of which are still fundamental to wind turbine design today.

Born in Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia), April 22, 1724, Kant received his education at the Collegium Fredericianum and the University of Königsberg.
Thereafter, for 15 years he taught at the university, lecturing first on science and mathematics, but gradually enlarging his field of concentration to cover almost all branches of philosophy.
Although Kant's lectures and works written during this period established his reputation as an original philosopher, he did not receive a chair at the university until 1770, when he was made professor of logic and metaphysics.
