  Seed: Truth and Science
The truth that science lusts after straddles this boundary between the mathematical and the artistic.
Yet there are some people who doubt that science has any privileged vista onto the truth—that the spectrum of truths is open to all, and that what science achieves is in no way more rigorous than what any of us perceive.
Truth and Science, written by Joshua Roebke, posted on April 30, 2007 10:29 AM, is in the category Commentary.

The history of science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interest on the other.
Science must constantly be reminded that her purposes are not the only purposes and that the order of uniform causation which she has use for may be enveloped in a wider order.
Science cannot be ignored or rejected, because it is bound up with modern technique; it is essential alike to prosperity in peace and to victory in war.

 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 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 facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.

He began the publication of original contributions to science in 1842, and for fifty-two years, till his death in 1894, he continued to produce in an unbroken stream.
His interests in science and art came together in his work on esthetics, and he had a lively appreciation of painting, poetry, and music.
The practice of popular lecturing on scientific subjects was almost unknown in Germany when Helmholtz began, and he did much to give it dignity and to set a standard.

The research into the lives and deaths of four tyrannosaur species was reported in the current issue of the journal Science by two dinosaur paleontologists, Dr. Erickson and Philip J. Currie of the University of Alberta, and two population biologists at Florida State, Brian D. Inouye and Alice A. Winn.
Some paleontologists speculated that tyrannosaurs grew to adult size in such a brief time that they left no detectable fossil traces of their juvenile period of transition.

Gibbs counters that less than 10 per cent of the 1918 hemagglutinin gene would evolve slowly (and therefore appear pig-like) for this reason, whereas his results show that fully half the gene comes from pigs.

When gene sequences from the influenza virus that caused the 1918 pandemic were first compared with those of related viruses, they yielded few clues about its origins and virulence.

At the same time, Wesley was aware that the science represented by the British enlightenment could have serious implications for traditional interpretations of the Bible and of the place ascribed to God in the functioning of the natural world.
Dallinger adopted Wesley's emphasis on the importance of science and of science education for clergy and laity, and his more-or-less consistent "live and let live" attitude toward new discoveries.
Dallinger, the man of science, felt that the evidence of science should not be subverted by a literal reading of Scripture.

Such historic analysis can demonstrate that the development of life sciences was seldom a "direct linear progress", but rather a trajectory with many "detours" or even "blind alleys".
The presentations are based on detailed studies in special domains, such as anthropology, physiological chemistry, biochemistry, immunology, protein chemistry, chemistry and physiology of messenger substances in the social and institutional context of different European countries, such as Germany, Austria, the Czech Lands, and Russia, and in the USA during the 19th and 20th centuries.
