	Leon Trotsky: Dialectical Materialism and Science (1925)
		Science as a whole has been directed toward acquiring knowledge of reality, research into the laws of evolution, and discovery of the properties and qualities of matter, in order to gain greater mastery over it.
		The social evaluation of science, its historical evaluation is determined by its capacity to increase man’s power and arm him with the power to foresee and master nature.
		Science is a function of society and not of an individual.

	Religion and Science
		In the seventeenth century the doctrine of the motion of the earth was condemned by a Catholic tribunal.
		Science is concerned with the general conditions which are observed to regulate physical phenomena, whereas religion is wholly wrapped up in the contemplation of moral and aesthetic values.
		For physical science you have in these lives merely ordinary examples of the operation of the principles of physiological chemistry, and of the dynamics of nervous reactions; for religion you have lives of the most profound significance in the history of the world..

	Science and Theology
		Liberals say that science and the Bible are both right within their own legitimate spheres, but they deal with different aspects of reality.
		Science and religion cannot contradict each other since they deal with different spheres of human activity and deal with the world in different ways.
		Science abstracts from the whole and investigates nature in so far as it can be observed by the senses or measured and quantified with the aid of technology.

	Kant's Philosophy of Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		It is of interest to contemporary philosophers of science primarily because of the way in which Kant attempts to articulate a philosophical framework that places substantive conditions on our scientific knowledge of the world while still respecting the autonomy and diverse claims of particular sciences.
		Historians of philosophy of science investigate, among other things, Kant's work in the conceptual foundations of physics — in particular, his matter theory (e.g., the infinite divisibility of matter, attractive and repulsive forces, inertia, atoms and the void) and his dynamical account of the laws of mechanics.
		Kant then uses the claim that science proper requires the construction of the concept of the object in a priori intuition to exclude the possibility that chemistry and psychology, at least as they were practiced at that time, could count as science proper.

	Thoreau's View of Science
		Historians of nineteenth-century science have shown to what great extent scientists were troubled, confused, and divided, and to what great extent general philosophical and religious attitudes colored scientific controversy on all professional levels.
		But science was coming more and more to eliminate the personality and the capacities of the investigator from the investigation, to objectify observation, refine it with instruments, and ultimately to make it as little as possible dependent on the perceiving sense of the scientist.
		The growth of the number of strictures against science in the late journals records his realization that science was not what he had taken it to be, and is a separate development from the private collapse of his "anticipation" enterprise.

	Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
		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 one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before.
		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.

	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.

	Frank's Case Book
		Science and religion are not just restricted to play nicely in their separate little sandboxes.
		Perhaps the most notorious and unfortunate modern clash between religion and science was the 1925 Scopes Monkey trial where high school teacher John T. Scopes was tried for violating a Tennessee law prohibiting the teaching of evolution in schools.
		Since the empirical world falls within the magisterium of science, claims of miracles in the sense of suspension of physical laws, are subject to verification and potential rejection.

		Science Service is a Washington, D.C.-based organization founded in 1921 for the promotion of science writing and information about science in the media.
		In May 1925, a group of Dayton civic leaders met at F.E. Robinson's Drugstore (sign visible on right) and decided to challenge Tennessee's new statute against the teaching of evolution.
		On July 19, 1925, Rev. Byrd resigned as pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church North in Dayton when members of his congregation objected because a visiting minister, Rev. Charles Francis Potter of the West Side Unitarian Church in New York City, proposed to preach on the topic of evolution.

	Christianity & Science - 1st to 14th centuries
		In public lectures in 1925, entitled Science and the Modern World, he declared that "the approach to the scientific mentality which had been attained by the Greeks" was "absolutely in ruins" by the sixth century, and that the "Middle Ages formed one long training in the intellect...in the sense of order", i.e.
		But more than this: science also needs a confidence "in the intelligible rationality of a personal being", which is "an unconscious derivative from medieval theology." One can imagine the startled silence at such a politically incorrect suggestion.
		An event of note in the thirteenth century was a promulgation of 219 propositions related to Greek science, primarily as guidelines for the University of Paris.

	APS Observer \| A Case for Psychological Science
		It was not quite the equivalent of the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, when evolutionary science was itself in the dock, but psychological science's credentials were in a sense on trial when scientists went to court as part of a University of Michigan affirmative action case a few months ago.
		For psychological science, the December decision was a milestone of particular significance.
		When she was first asked to be an expert witness in the Michigan case, Gurin says, many looked askance because she was well known as an advocate of diversity on campus and might not be scientifically objective, "but it is important that you do know your values" and act on them, she says.

	Baseball Almanac - Year In Review : 1925 American League
		In 1925, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced that it was willing to financially support anyone challenging a recently enacted Tennessee law that prohibited the teaching of Darwinism in the state's schools.
		John T. Scopes, a twenty-five year-old high-school science teacher in Dayton, Tennessee, who taught evolution in his school biology class, accepted the ACLU offer and agreed to stand as the defendant in a test case to challenge the law.
		At the conclusion of the hearings, Scopes' attorney asked the jury to return a verdict of guilty in order that the case might be appealed to the Tennessee Supreme Court where, he hoped, the anti-Darwin law would be overturned.

		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 science that has thriven has thriven upon its own symbols: logic, the only science which is admitted to have made no improvements in century after century, is the only one which has grown no symbols.
		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.

	James Franck - Biography
		Franck's other investigations, many of which were carried out with collaborators and students, were also dedicated to problems of atomic physics - those on the exchange of energy of excited atoms (impacts of the second type, photochemical researches), and optical problems connected with elementary processes during chemical reactions.
		In 1925, he proposed a mechanism to explain his observations of the photochemical dissociation of iodine molecules.
		He was one of the first who openly demonstrated against the issue of racial laws in Germany, and he resigned from the University of Göttingen in 1933 as a personal protest against the Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler.
