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 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. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation. www.lhup.edu /~dsimanek/sciquote.htm   (5100 words)

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE - Mary Baker Eddy That this is science capable of demonstration becomes clear to the minds of those patients who reason upon the process of their cure. The greatest condemnation of Christian Science is in its denial of the character of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and its refusal to accept the teaching of the Bible as authoritative. She claimed that Christian Science could liberate man from the illusion of death, just like she claimed happened to Jesus Christ, but she died and was buried just like every other human being in history. www.ondoctrine.com /10chscie.htm   (4500 words)

NCSE Resource   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20) Science is a way of understanding the natural world, using natural forces and processes. Science is restricted to using methodological materialism to understand and explain the natural world, whereas religion is concerned with the relationship of human beings to supernatural powers. Materialist Evolutionists go beyond the methodological materialism of science to propose that the laws of nature are not only sufficient to explain all of nature and evolution, but that the supernatural does not exist. www.ncseweb.org /resources/articles/528_science_religion_and_evoluti_6_19_2001.asp   (7079 words)

My Space 1889 game In most cases, a skill level of "1" in Space 1889 is a Familiarity (8- roll) with that skill in Hero. In the Space: 1889 system, Observation is the perception skill and defaults to Int-1; disregard the default. All Science skill rolls are based on INT (except Familiarities, of course). ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/Tom_Carman/S1889/mygame.htm   (1168 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20) Science was frequently enlisted as the foundation of modern culture, with profound consequences for access to university education and assimilation into social and bureaucratic elites. The sciences were never simply transcendent resources for local debates about modernity—they were themselves constituted, in part, by these same debates. Tracing the social dynamics and public rhetoric of science in the modern age is but one part of the story. www.ceu.hu /hist/hall.doc   (1270 words)

[No title] INewcomb has remarked: The widest generalizations of modern science, in so far as they have modi- fied the older theories of the nature, origin, and destiny of man, are reached by looking upon well-known facts from a different point of view, rather than by discovering new facts. Our hypothesis leads directly to the general statement that what science calls law is bnt the action of a supreme will, of which nature is the visible expression, and what science calls uniformity is but the re- cognized mode of action of that will. We claim that such a fact as the origin of lifelooked npon as science has to look npon it as the result of unique con- ditions; recognizing as we are obliged to recognize by sound deduction from accepted principles, purpose and will back of those conditionsis itself a miracle. lcweb2.loc.gov /ndlpcoop/nicmoas/nwng/nwng0051.sgm   (18018 words)

Cthulhu 1889 Space: 1889 is the Registered Trademark of Frank Chadwick, and is used by permission. Cthulhu 1889 is based on the same Cthulhu mythos found in H.P. Lovecraft's stories, but modified by the fact that mankind has begun to explore the planets of this Solar System, and has indeed found intelligent life on other planets. The Cthulhu 1889 system is fairly straightforward, though it is necessary to own the following items: the Space:1889 rulebook, the rules for Call of Cthulhu, and Cthulhu by Gaslight, the last two items published by Chaosium. www.heliograph.com /trmgs/trmgs1/cthulhu1889.shtml   (1620 words)

History Readings What Per Ling did was to ground his system in the science of the day and as a result incorporated (l) aesthetic, (2) military, (3) pedagogical and (4) medical aspects of exercise. The experimental sciences and the needs of the new, urban society advocated the idea that new "truths" could develop as new knowledge was gained. Science was felt to be the provider of knowledge and truth, and the tools of science (experimentation, observation, and measurment) were the symbols of learned authority. personal.ecu.edu /estesst/2323/Readings/historyreadings.html   (14676 words)

Christian Science Monitor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20) The daily Christian Science Monitor (published from Boston by the Church of Christ, Scientist) is of interest as an example of an internationally recognised newspaper that, like Bayard, operates under the auspices of a religious organisation. Both Eddy and the Church attracted attention regarding their wealth and doctrines, with criticism that believers were relying on faith rather than surgery or pharmaceuticals and were thus endangering their lives or unnecessarily succumbing to ailments. In 1908 she launched the Christian Science Monitor, with a charter "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind" (the sort of uplift adopted by Scripps, Hearst, Pulitzer and other contemporaries) and otherwise establish Christian Science's respectability. www.ketupa.net /csmonitor.htm   (1255 words)

Lo!: A Hypertext Edition of Charles Hoy Fort's Book This is the fallacy of all the sciences: scientists are scientific. Some day there may be organic science, or the interpretation of all phenomenal things in terms of an organism that comprises all. Some of the sleek, plump sciences are models of good behaviour and inactivity, because, with little else to do, they sit all day on the backs of patient fishmongers. www.resologist.net /lo204.htm   (5788 words)

The Bible Lessons Just enough of the spiritual sense of the Scripture text is given to outline the thought; abundant references to the Bible and Science and Health enable every student to complete it by his own research. The lessons are like the outline map of a continent; the learner must supply the boundaries of countries, the location of rivers and mountains, towns and cities, and the descriptions that give life, color, and individuality. In all respects, those who are in Christian Science, are coming into a new world. www.bibletexts.com /articles/j007p500.htm   (807 words)

Handbook of Texas Online: CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The earliest evidence of the appearance of Christian Science in Texas came in the 1889-90 Christian Science Journal, which, although it listed no churches in Texas, did mention two cities where Christian Science services were held, Austin and Galveston.

Christian Science college organizations held meetings on fourteen campuses including both public and private institutions. www.tsha.utexas.edu /handbook/online/articles/view/CC/ifc1.html   (411 words)

Unity After an extensive study of the science of mind and Eastern religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, he decided to try his wife's meditation technique. Borrowing heavily from Christian Science and New Thought, (a 19th century metaphysical healing movement developed from the system of mental healer Phineas Quimby), the Fillmores added their own interpretations, including the Eastern concept of reincarnation, and presented their teachings first to the people of Missouri and then to the world. Under pressure from Christian Science founder, Mary Baker Eddy, the Fillmores stopped using terms common to Christian Science. www.greatcom.org /resources/handbook_of_todays_religions/01chap12   (2239 words)

CSEC -- Endtime Prophecy Eddy says: 'The breaking up of material beliefs may seem to be famine and pestilence, want and woe, sin, sickness, and death, which assume new phases until their nothingness appears. "Christian Science teaches that by pure and holy living we are to hasten the end of the world, not the end of God's creation, but the end of error, darkness, evil. We are taught in Christian Science that such conflicting forces indicate the breaking up of mortal mind's long-cherished beliefs, and we can rejoice at the overturning of error." www.endtime.org /prophecy/prophecy.html   (1700 words)
