  Is Science Superstitious   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
While the men of science are in the main conservative, science is still the chief agent of rapid change in the world.
A peculiar blend of general and particular interests is involved in the pursuit of science; the particular is studied in the hope that it may throw light upon the general.
The indifference of science to philosophy has been due, of course, to its amazing success; it has increased the sense of human power, and has therefore been on the whole agreeable, in spite of its occasional conflicts with theological orthodoxy.

 Root-Races abd Geological Periods
HPB’s timeline was not borrowed from the judgments of the science of her day, but came from geologic data and the science of the wisdom tradition.
Science would give the figure as 65-230 M. Over millions of years this root-race is said to have become more physical, reaching an important juncture near its midpoint, 18 M (SD).
Science would give the figure as 7-90 M. The word “Atlantean” also refers to the entire configuration of the world’s continents as they changed over a vast time period from about 12 M (SD) to 3 or even 1 million years ago.

 Science and Society in 20th Century America - Final Exam
In your discussion you might consider how the relationship and distinctions between science and government have been changed by 20th century science in the US, and how either science or government should be transformed in light of the demands and achievements of the other.
One of the characteristics of modern science, or at least the reputation of modern science, that has made it so intriguing as an object of study in the 20th century (whether by historians, philosophers, or sociologists), is science's ability to discover and create truths about the world.
Science is certainly not alone among the disciplines in claiming a relationship to truth, but the study of science in the 20th century often focused on what distinguished science from other disciplines, as a way of knowing the world and as a method for discovering truth.

 JBS Haldane-Daedalus, or, Science and the Future
I am absolutely convinced that science is vastly more stimulating to the imagination than are the classics {4}, but the products of this stimulus do not normally see the light because scientific men as a class are devoid of any perception of literary form.
I think then that the tendency of applied science is to magnify injustices until they become too intolerable to be borne, and the average man whom all the prophets and poets could not move, turns at least and extinguishes the evil at its source.
To sum up, then, science is as yet in its infancy, and we can foretell little of the future save that the thing that has not been is the thing that shall be; that no beliefs, no values, no institutions are safe.

 FNF:  PAUL FEYRABEND  (Against Science)  (1924-1996)
Feyerabend was professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley and professor of the philosophy of science at the Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich.
Feyerabend was already a well-known philosopher of science by the time it first appeared in essay form (1970; the book version was published 1975), a one-time student and sometime follower of Karl Popper at the London School of Economics, and a lecturer (and then professor) at Berkeley since 1958.
Feyerabend argued "against method," insisting that science must be far more open and willing to examine all possibilities -- none of which were, per se, better than any other.

Additional Benefit Apart from generally reducing the length of an IPv6 address when encode in a textual format, this scheme also has the benefit of returning IPv6 addresses to a fixed length representation, leading zeroes are never omitted, thus removing the ugly and awkward variable length representation that has previously been recommended.
Further, the appearance of the address, as if it may be random gibberish in a compressed file, makes it much harder to detect by a packet sniffer programmed to look for bypassing addresses.

 Intelligent Design: IDing ID (Doubt and About)
When compared to "creation science" on a strategic level, it turns out that ID proceeds still further in the direction of PR-oriented pseudoscience and the denial of religious intentions in argument.
But though "creation science" failed, what's intriguing for our current purposes are its tactics: recruit Ph.D.s to outfits like the Creation Research Society and Institution for Creation Research; claim repeatedly to be doing science; and—at least to some extent—keep religion offstage.
In all of these ways, ID represents a strategic upgrade of "creation science." In fact, it turns out that ID's "teach the controversy" program—which advocates instructing public school students in the alleged weaknesses in evolutionary theory, rather than in ID itself—appears to have originated with "creation scientists" as well.
