		The history of science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interest on the other.
		Science must constantly be reminded that her purposes are not the only purposes and that the order of uniform causation which she has use for may be enveloped in a wider order.
		Science cannot be ignored or rejected, because it is bound up with modern technique; it is essential alike to prosperity in peace and to victory in war.

		Science fiction would not exist in its present form without the social changes that took place at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century.
		Science fiction also began to be published in the new mass-market paperback form and in hardcover, first from small presses devoted to science fiction and then by major publishers.
		While science fiction is first and foremost a literary genre, the concepts and themes that it has set forth have also been adapted for use in radio and television shows, motion pictures, and other forms of mass media.

	MSN Encarta - Science Fiction
		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 fiction has, however, survived, soaring to greater heights in the Golden Age as the Grand Masters began appearing on the scene.
		In retrospect, it is so very difficult for me to comprehend that the giant in the science fiction magazine field, the one who recognized the unique niche and created scientifiction (scientific fiction) and science fiction with its fandom, Hugo Gernsback, rose and fell within one decade from 1926 to 1936.
		We science fiction readers had the promise from our genre of a continuing search for the truth as it would be in the future.

		Science, therefore, is an attempt to gather and explain the facts about the Universe in which we live.
		Margaret Balcom has noted that science is “primarily a method for dealing with matter (objects) in action through (1) observation and experimentation, (2) analysis, (3) derivation of a physical law (a concept), (4) prediction in terms of that law.
		For natural science, history, psychology, ethics, philosophy, or religion to affirm that there is only one mode of cognition, and that way its own, is to betray a fatuous pride which convicts of lack of real culture in the court of high reason (1929, pp.

		The evident irony of science fiction's claim that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus, published in 1818, is the first example of a "science fiction" text (Aldiss 25) cannot be denied.
		Although the universal language of science and rationality popularized in pulp SF was tailored to a rather narrow, white-male constituency, it could still be construed as a populist refusal of the elitist vehicles of "literary" speech and "metaphysical" discourse that had traditionally dominated Western literate culture.
		Gernsback's ideas regarding the nature of science do not really consider the impact of the prose, for as William Bainbridge clearly establishes, Gernsback's preoccupation was the "scientific authenticity and the romance of technological progress" (54).

	Science Quotes
		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. ~Henri Poincaré
		The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart. ~Walter Lippmann
		Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house. ~Henri Poincaré, Science and Hypothesis, 1905

	Apologetics Press - How Does Science Work?
		The important distinction between science and those other systematizations (the arts, philosophy, and theology) is that science is self-testing and self-correcting.
		Natural science deals with physical entities by abstraction, experiment, and mathematical measurement; while religion is an attitude of trust and love toward an infinite God, which results in a vital experience constituting the essence of religion.
		Science is the “looking glass” given to man by God for the purpose of investigating and having dominion over His creation.

	Clausen, B. L. --- on Arthur S. Eddington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Eddington was a deeply religious man and it is hard to determine from his writings whether his scientific work or his religious experience was more important to him.
		He believed that changes in scientific thought might remove some of the obstacles to a reconciliation of religion with science, but he was wholly opposed to basing religion on scientific discovery.
		He believed that a personal relationship should dominate our conception of the unseen spiritual world, and that arguments for a deity were irrelevant to the assurance of a personal God for which humanity hungers.

		Long before "science fiction" was called by that name, I had become devoted to it through the Mars books of Edgar Rice Burroughs, which I read when I was only twelve.
		During the early months of the Scienceers' existence -- from its start in December 1929 through the spring of 1930 -- our president was Warren Fitzgerald.
		There, in a spacious room of their private house, which Mort used for his science-fiction library, The Scienceers came into full flower, attracting many new members through publicity placed in magazines and newspapers by myself, as Secretary of the club.

	Wired 10.12: The New Convergence
		The American Association for the Advancement of Science now sponsors a "Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion." Science luminaries who in the '70s shrugged at faith as gobbledygook — including E. Wilson and the late Stephen Jay Gould and Carl Sagan — have endorsed some form of reconciliation between science and religion.
		Similarly in science, the pure materialistic view that reigned through the 20th century, holding that everything has a natural explanation, couldn't keep other viewpoints at bay forever.
		As recently as the '70s, intellectuals assumed that hard science was on track to resolve the two Really Big Questions: why life exists and how the universe began.

		In the U.S., this believable blend of fiction and science is known only vaguely as "off-trail stories" or "different stories."
