The core of science approach.
1. Skepticism
2. Empirical evidence.
3. Seeking falsification- not confirmation!!!!
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” Albert Einstein, 1941
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” Carl Sagan (Suggests science can deepen our sense of awe and meaning.)
“When you mix science and politics -- you get politics.” John M. Barry, Historian.
“We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.” — Albert Einstein, quoted in Scientific American
“The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty; and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments....We waste so much time and money in punishing crimes, and take so little pains to prevent them. We profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government, that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity, by means of the Bible; for this divine book, above all others favors that equality among mankind, that respect for just laws.” ― Benjamin Rush
“Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.” Dr Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. A friend of Thomas Jefferson and asked him when drafting the Declaration to change the word “Happiness” to “Health”.
“But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” (Albert Einstein, 1941)
“While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.” (Albert Einstein, 1948)
“There are pessimists who hold that such a state of affairs is necessarily inherent in human nature; it is those who propound such views that are the enemies of true religion, for they imply thereby that the religious teachings are utopian ideals and are unsuited to afford guidance in human affairs.” (Albert Einstein, 1948)
“The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) US civil rights leader
“Science can make a nuclear bomb, but it cannot tell us not to drop it.” Unknown (A warning about science’s moral neutrality—it empowers but doesn’t guide.)
“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” Isaac Asimov (A timeless caution about the gap between knowledge and ethical maturity.)
“Science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” Isaac Asimov (We must grow wiser as we grow more powerful.)
“Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.” Adam Smith (Celebrates science as a counterbalance to irrationality.)
“The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.” Neil deGrasse Tyson (A blunt affirmation of science’s evidence-based nature.)
“Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.” — Louis Pasteur (Science as a unifying and enlightening force.)
“Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science.” Edwin Hubble (A poetic reflection on science as human curiosity made methodical.)
“Man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science.” Edwin Hubble (Science is the story of human curiosity—always learning, always reaching.)
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” Carl Sagan (Suggests science can deepen our sense of awe and meaning.)
“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.” Carl Sagan (Points to the danger of public ignorance amid scientific advancement.)
“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” — Often attributed to Albert Einstein (though disputed)(Progress must be measured not just by what we can do, but by what we should do.)
“Science without conscience is the soul’s perdition.” François Rabelais (From the 16th century—still a profound reminder that ethics must guide inquiry.)
