  Science Fiction - MSN Encarta
Science and technology began appearing as a subject of fiction in the 19th century.
Wells began to write stories with science themes in 1894, demonstrating more interest in biology and evolution than in other sciences, and more concern about the social consequences of invention than about the accuracy of the invention itself.
Most early science fiction was published in magazines and aimed at a readership of boys and young men.

 Science & Theology News - Exploring Science-and-religion’s past   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Science and religion have intermingled since the beginning of recorded history — frequently intertwined to the point where knowledge of nature and knowledge of the gods were indistinguishable.
Although Christianity and the natural sciences were generally on amicable terms during the 17th and 18th centuries, the anti-clericalism of the French Enlightenment in the 18th century gave rise to serious, extended and largely unmerited attacks on Christianity for hindering and corrupting the natural sciences.
In those not infrequent cases where Christianity and science have attempted to occupy the same intellectual ground, the historical actors have generally preferred peace to warfare, compromise to confrontation, and have found means — through compromise, accommodation, clarification, reinterpretation, revision and the identification of outright error — of negotiating a state of peaceful coexistence.

 ANTEBELLUM AMERICAN SCIENCE:
The gain was in the suggestion of a greater social impact for science when viewed in a causative relationship to material advancement, while it was loss that science as knowledge was overshadowed in public perceptions by the more obvious economic and life-changing consequences derivative from technology and invention.
Zoology in particular (and the life sciences more generally) constituted the largest area of interest for antebellum scientists, though this was followed closely by geology, which underscores the perception that American science was oriented to a significant degree toward study of the American environment.
Science and science-related employment accounted for 70% of the occupational total for scientists, and employment in multiple positions characterized two-thirds of the scientific population.

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.

 Intro Topic: Separation of Science and Religion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The idea that science and religion are at war with one another is actually fairly recent.
Although at the time there were many people - both scientists and religious believers - who did not see a conflict between the two worlds, the warfare view became deeply entrenched in many people's minds, and it has continued to influence thinking throughout the twentieth century.
This is particularly so in America, where the even today conflicts between science and religion tend to be much more bitter and divisive than in other Western nations.

 Charles E. Merriam, Political Science
During his years as a political science professor at the University of Chicago, Merriam actively participated in the political process that was the focus of his academic research.
Often called the father of the behavioral movement in political science, he made the department at Chicago the nation's leader in the production of more than a generation of major figures in the field.
Improvements in science and technology were mass gains, as he often put it, and needed to benefit all people.

He was referring to a paper published in Science magazine that day, prepared by Sydney Levitus, John Antonov, Timothy Boyer, and Cathy Stephens, of the NOAA Center.
Science news writer Richard A. Kerr, in his “promo” article to get everyone excited about the new NOAA paper, asserts that “The ocean-induced delay in global warming also suggests to some climatologists that future temperature increases will be toward the top end of the models’ range of prediction.”
He was Secretary General of the International Association for the Physical Science of the Oceans from 1987 to 1995, and worked as an oceanographer for the U.S. Office of Naval Research for 20 years.

 A.C. Seward, "Darwin and Modern Science," 1909 - Chapter 17   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Sclater was the first to accept these four great regions and showed, in 1874 ("The geographical distribution of Mammals", "Manchester Science Lectures", 1874.), that they were well borne out by the present distribution of the Mammals.
Although applicable to various other groups of animals, for instance to the tailless Amphibia and to Birds (Huxley himself had been led to found his two fundamental divisions on the distribution of the Gallinaceous birds), the combination of South America with Australia was gradually found to be too sweeping a measure.
Holding the view of the permanence of the oceans he accounts for the colonisation of outlying islands by further elaborating the views of Lyell and Darwin, especially in his fascinating "Island Life", with remarkable chapters on the Ice Age, Climate and Time and other fundamental factors.

Comet Borrelly was 200 million kilometres from the Sun at the end of September 2001.
In 1871 Professor W. Stanley Jevons, noted author of The Principles of Science (1874), wrote that several of his colleagues "asserted that comets owe many of their peculiar phenomena to electrical action." That was in the days before modern scientific beliefs disallowed such speculation.
