	Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
		Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
		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, '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.

	Professor Huxley on Science and the Clergy (1867)
		On the other hand, the man of science constructs an equally imaginary being who resists every step of physical research, who is blind to the most obvious facts, who has no sense of truth, and who is labouring to make others as blind and as untruthful as himself.
		He started by assuring them that nine-tenths of their number were blind to the existence of such a science as geology, and that they believed and thought that the world in which they lived had been created in six literal days.
		That this is not the belief either of the clergy or of men of science as to their relative positions, merely shows the enormous influence of the past upon all of us.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Science and the Church
		The words "science" and "Church" are here understood in the following sense: Science is not taken in the restricted meaning of natural sciences, but in the general one given to the word by Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas.
		Church, in connexion with science, theoretically means any Church that claims authority in matters of doctrine and teaching; practically, however, only the Catholic Church is in question, on account of her universality and her claim of power to exercise this authority.
		The greatest obstacle to anti-Christian science is the Church, which claims Divine origin, authority to teach infallible truth, maintains the inspiration of Scripture, and is confident of her own existence to the end of the world.

	Period and Process in National and Colonial Science
		Historians of science and technology are in a position to look at the whole question of periodization with a critical eye, since the well-known periods imposed by European political history seem largely irrelevant for many, if not most, of their purposes.
		The extent of this abruptly downward plunge may be demonstrated by comparing the absolute number of teachers, students, and journals of science during the twenty-year period of activity with the same figures taken from the years of decline that accompanied and followed the war of independence.
		Science is everywhere the same, an unproblematic given, a positivist conception that fails to make accurate distinctions among sciences and technologies.

	A Dictionary of Scientific Quotations
		No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power; in every mixed movement the efficacy comes from the good elements not from the bad.
		The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote.
		Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

		On the evidential plane, the main contention between science and the existence of God is the apparent conflict between scientific theories about the origins of the universe, of life and of consciousness, and religious notions that the world was created by God.
		The debate between science and religion is a heated one because they are two concepts fighting for breathing space on the common ground of truth.
		Science has proposed excellent explanations for the origins of the universe, of life and of consciousness through the theories of the Big Bang, and of evolution.

	Clitoridectomy and Medical Ethics
		In the third place, it is against all Medical science to remove such a part because "subject" (or subjected?—see note) " to unbearable irritation." Intense itching is a common malady, but this itching does not depend on local causes, and it may generally be relieved by proper measures.
		Marshall Hall used to propose tracheotomy for epilepsy ; a living Surgeon once performed castration for the same malady ; each operation thoroughly unsuccessful, and not to be defended, save on the ground of the good faith of the proposers, and of an enthusiasm which had carried them beyond the bounds of sound discretion.
		Thus, then, we have shown, as shortly as possible, the real position of clitoridectomy as an offence against science and morality, and the reasons why the Medical Profession, as an honourable, moral Profession, whose members have free and familial access to families, must repudiate and utterly reject it.

	'Poetry vs. Science': Positions
		As yet there is a shrinking even from pure science, — that is, from all science which is not directly marketable; and while this is so, art must be still further postponed.
		"Science is the great obsession of our age; we all render to it, often unconsciously, a sort of worship, and can not help but feel a kind of scorn for poetry.
		"Like the poet, the man of science also must always be able to put himself in thought in the place of Nature, to learn how she acts, and to represent to himself what she might do if one should change the conditions of her action.

	Popularizing Science (The Nation, January 10, 1867)
		The popular lecturer on science is exposed to a third temptation: speaking usually on subjects with which his audiences have but very slight acquaintance, he is checked by no fear of competent criticism of his method, or of any immediate reply to loose or incorrect statements.
		In speaking of the dangers which attend the process of making science familiar, people have no desire to gainsay the necessity of diffusing scientific information as widely as possible.
		But in pursuing this desirable end, it is of primary importance that nothing but real science should be diffused, and that the methods of teaching employed should be, before everything, characterized by simplicity, fairness, and humility.

		The comet was very well placed for its 1867 discovery thanks to its closest approach to Earth (0.568 AU) and its perihelion (1.562 AU), which occurred on May 15 and May 24, respectively.
		The comet was first recognized as periodic in May of 1867 when C. Bruhns of Leipzig determined the orbital period to be 5.74 years.
		By the time the final observations had been made of the 1867 apparition, the orbital period had been re-calculated to be 5.68 years.

		Science Magazine’s April 20 issue has a long article by Jennifer Cousin and Greg Miller detailing the issue, and confirming many of the trends and factors we have discussed on this blog.
		My experience with Science magazine is that the journalism staff is first rate, but they tend to stick to the establishment line of thought.
		I've spoken to some National Science Board members about the issue, and the story I have gotten from them is that they are terrified that given full portability, students will all end up at some program other than their own.
