  Cheap Thoughts
Science is said to proceed on two legs, one of theory (or, loosely, of deduction) and the other of observation and experiment (or induction).
In all sciences we are being progressively relieved of the burden of singular instances, the tyranny of the particular.
Science is not the place for those who want certainty, who wish the truths they learned in childhood to reassure them in their old age.

 Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
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.

 Foundation of Science is The Biblical Worldview
In agreement with this, science writer Loren Eiseley (a non-Christian) maintains that the most curious thing about the scientific viewpoint and philosophy, is that mankind has come up with it at all, because it is not "natural" to mankind.
Eiseley says that science "demands some kind of unique soil in which to flourish" and he (somewhat reluctantly) identifies that soil as "the Christian world which finally gave birth in a clear, articulate fashion to the experimental method of science itself" (Darwin's Century, '61, p.62).
Small wonder that science did not grow out of such worldviews, because, obviously it would be a nonsensical waste of time to study and analyze an illusion.

 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.

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.
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.
The progress of Science consists in observing interconnections and in showing with a patient ingenuity that the events of this ever-shifting world are but examples of a few general relations, called laws.

He has also shewn*(2) that the musculus sternalis or sternalis brutorum, which is not an extension of the rectus abdominalis, but is closely allied to the panniculus, occurred in the proportion of about three per cent.
It is certain that there may be extraordinary mental activity with an extremely small absolute mass of nervous matter: thus the wonderfully diversified instincts, mental powers, and affections of ants are notorious, yet their cerebral ganglia are not so large as the quarter of a small pin's head.

Among those conventions are the use of "science" and analogical logic for the imaginative exploration of the cosmos, for analyzing the intellectual and social life of Earth from the vantage point of the Moon, and for distinguishing (as Poe's endnote makes clear) the superior rationality of "Hans Pfaall " from the imperfections of its forebears
While Charnas, representative of late-20th-century feminism, does not share Gilman's assumptions that women are innately peaceable, maternal, and asexual, she does assume, like Gilman, that women's culture is more co-operative, non-hierarchical, and nurturing than men's.

 CA114: Creationist scientists
Even if they did not believe in evolution, all these scientists were firmly committed to the scientific method, including methodological naturalism.
They actually serve as counterexamples to the common creationist claim that a naturalistic practice of science is atheistic.
Evolution is entirely consistent with a belief in God, including even "special creation." Special creation need not refer to the creation of every animal; it can refer simply to creation of the universe, of the first life, or of the human soul, for example.

The title of a recent article in Science began with: "Genomic Cis-Regulatory Logic." That's obscure enough to make you move on to the next article, particularly when you see that sea urchins are involved.
But buried in all the technical jargon is a profound discovery: The genes of all living things, from sea urchins to humans, are in reality systems consisting of thousands of simple computational devices.
Figuring out how your PC's hardware evolved is child's play compared to elucidating just how random mutation and natural selection evolved the thousands of different logic circuits switching on and off in your body as you read this.
