	Retelling the Story of Science
		Science, being based on the natural and the rational, is therefore held to be fundamentally opposed to religion.
		Science as debunker, it seemed, was continuing on its relentless course.
		Whereas, in the early days of science, nature seemed to be a potpourri of many kinds of phenomena with little apparent relation, such as heat, sound, magnetism, and gravity, it later became clear that there were deep connections.

		The British Association for the Advancement of Science was instituted at York on 27th September 1831, an imitation of the itinerant scientific parliament held in Germany since 1822 (already referred to), and arose from a proposal by Sir D. Brewster.
		The object of the association is to promote science, to direct general attention to scientific matters, and to facilitate intercourse between scientific workers.
		The Chemical Society of London for the promotion ~of chemistry and the sciences immediately connected with it was instituted on, the 23rd of February 1841; a charter of incorporation was obtained in 1848.

		It was this healing and the remarkable change in her thought which accompanied it, that she regarded as her discovery of the Science of Christ Jesus' teachings.

	Victorian Science & Religion
		The way in which science and religion have been perceived in the twentieth century was heavily influenced by the writings of late nineteenth-century historians of science and religion, whose influence we have only recently begun to move beyond.
		This harmony between science and faith, mediated by some form of theology of nature, continued to be the mainstream position for most men of science, and most interested individuals, right up to the 1860s, at least.
		Although the myth of the conflict of science and religion was by now well established, and few clergy attempted to maintain a reputation as scientific experts, it should be noted that plenty of individuals continued to have a Christian faith and to participate in the sciences.

	Christian Terrorism: The War on Science
		They attacked the theory of evolution in every way imaginable and they argued that “creation science” should be taught in the science classroom along with evolution as a matter of fairness, so that students could decide for themselves which theory best explains all the facts.
		We know they will not want their children exposed to the ideas of Zecharia Sitchin (that aliens came to earth half a billion years ago and that humans are the result of genetic engineering with female apes).
		“Creation science” and “intelligent design” require their adherents to be dishonest, to pretend that they are interested in fairness, that they are open-minded and skeptical, and that they are only asking that science give them a fair hearing.

	Gold Selleck Silliman
		Natural science was at that time beginning to attract the attention of educators, and, at the solicitation of President Dwight, he abandoned the profession himself to science.
		In 1846 he urged upon the corporation of Yale the foundation of a department for the study of advanced science, and in consequence the School of applied chemistry was organized, with himself as its professor of chemistry, without salary.
		He was named as one of the original members of the National academy of sciences by act of congress in 1863, and served on several of its most important committees, notably that appointed in 1882 to report on the use of sorghum as a source of sugar.

	History of Biology
		The Babylonians were quite knowledgeable in a number of areas of science: their knowledge of astronomy was very advanced by even 1500 BC or earlier.
		Because modern science distinguishes between subjective and objective and teaches us that objective is “good” and subjective is “bad,” this creates for us an increasingly wide gulf between our perceptions of phenomena and the concepts by which we explain them.
		Since then, science has “bent over backwards,” as it were, to insure objectivity and make sure it has nothing to do with religion, which many scientists reject as being too subjective.

	The Republican War on Science by Chris Mooney
		The next three chapters demonstrate how cultural conservatives have disregarded, distorted, and abused science on the issues of evolution, embryonic stem cell research, the relation of abortion to health risks for women, and sex education.
		Once opponents of right-wing anti-intellectualism, they are now prominent supporters of conservative attacks on the theory of evolution, not just a bedrock of modern science but one of the greatest intellectual achievements of human history.
		During a November 2004 science journalism conference in Seattle, I had the opportunity to ask former EPA administrator William Ruckelshaus, who once sat on the Discovery Institute’s board, what he thought of its antievolutionist activities.

		Befitting the broad range of Bowditch's activities--five commercial voyages to the East, advancement of celestial navigation and maritime cartography, contributions to the development of insurance and civic institutions--we welcome papers and panel proposals that address a broad range of aspects of the topic, historical or current, in both the humanities and sciences.
		Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, and the Bowditch Institute warmly invites participation by scholars, teachers, and museum and historic site professionals to join us in exploring the interconnections between maritime history, science, and commerce in the Early Republic, as well as Bowditch's legacy in these areas today.
