And it is from this science that the immutable principles of all positive legislation must be derived by practical jurists and lawgivers.
After the manner of this analogy, the science of right aims at determining what every one shall have as his own with mathematical exactness; but this is not to be expected in the ethical science of virtue, as it cannot but allow a certain latitude for exceptions.
For, in such a science, the divisions must be made according to principles a priori; and hence the matter of the juridical relation, which may be conventional, ought to be left out of account, and only its form should be taken into consideration.

 50,000 Famous Quotes, Sayings and Quotations
When we say ''science'' we can either mean any manipulation of the inventive and organizing power of the human intellect: or we can mean such an extremely different thing as the religion of science, the vulgarized derivative from this pure activity manipulated by a sort of priestcraft into a great religious and political weapon.
The most heated defenders of a science, who cannot endure the slightest sneer at it, are commonly those who have not made very much progress in it and are secretly aware of this defect.
Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science.

 Regenerative Biology and Medicine: An Overview
Thus medical science seeks ways not only to prevent and cure underlying disease, but to restore the structure and function of damaged tissues and organs.
The establishment of mechanism in the biological world was aided by the invention, in the early 1600s, of the compound microscope, which made it possible to view biological structure in greater detail than ever before and which led to the development, in the 18th century, of the science of microscopic anatomy.
These advances, coupled with advances in engineering and materials science and the development of immunosuppressive drugs, have given us the ability to transfuse blood and replace damaged and dysfunctional tissues and organs through tissue and organ transplants and implants of bionic devices.

 History of Christian Science
Now science tells us that if a number of universal principles were to exist that determine the relationship of each stone to each other, only one combination would be possible, whereby the larger structure would be more precise.
As I see it, the Universal Theorem has been put on the table eons ago, which states that man is created in the image of God, or more precisely, that God and man are one in being.
I see countless proofs of this theorem possible in divine science, in the discovery of universal principles.

In one, Alexey V. Nikulov of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Microelectronics Technology and High Purity Materials in Chernogolovka, which is near Moscow, focuses on a hollow ring of deeply chilled superconducting material with electrons circulating in its walls.
By switching superconductivity on and off in a segment of the ring, Nikulov argues, random thermal fluctuations would generate a useful voltage thereby violating the second law.
Indeed, Cápek told Science News, those breakdowns of the second law might already be occurring in living systems.

 Gauss’s 1799 Proof Of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
We have all heard the frequent laments among our co-thinkers and professional colleagues at the sadly reduced state of science and mathematics education in our nation.
This is the ivory-tower view of mathematics, which holds sway from grade school to university, and reaches up like a hand from the grave, even into the peer review process governing what can be reported as the results of experimental physics.

 Science is Fun
Science is unique among all human activities -- unlike law, business, art, or religion -- it is identification with progress...There were no grants then, laboratory resources were meager, and academic jobs were almost nonexistent.
To frame a question and arrive at an answer that opens a window to yet another question, and to do this in the company of like-minded people with whom one can share the thrill of unanticipated and extended vistas, is what science is all about.

 GENETIC DETERMINISM AS A FAILING PARADIGM IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE--JSWE Vol. 39 No. 2 (Spring/Summer 2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
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.
