Quotes about science and scientis
The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short-cut answer. (Adams Mike)
Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God. (Adams Mike)
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have Certainty without any proof. (Adams Mike)
The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work. (Adams Mike)
I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. (Adams Mike)
Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide! (Adams Mike)
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems. (Adams Mike)
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other -- only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly. (Adams Mike)
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it. (Adams Mike)
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science. (Adams Mike)
If the study of all these sciences which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed. (Adams Mike)
I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning. (Adams Mike)
Science is nothing but perception. (Adams Mike)
Nevertheless, in order to imbue civilization with sound principles and enliven it with the spirit of the gospel, it is not enough to be illumined with the gift of faith and enkindled with the desire of forwarding a good cause. For this end it is necessary to take an active part in the various organizations and influence them from within. And since our present age is one of outstanding scientific and technical progress and excellence, one will not be able to enter these organizations and work effectively from within unless he is scientifically competent, technically capable and skilled in the practice of his own profession. (Adams Mike)
One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit. (Adams Mike)
Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification. (Adams Mike)
Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual sense of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtle than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery. (Adams Mike)
Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great. (Adams Mike)
It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him. (Adams Mike)
It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of. (Adams Mike)
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth. (Adams Mike)
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know. (Adams Mike)
The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions. (Adams Mike)
Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted. (Adams Mike)
In science men have discovered an activity of the very highest value in which they are no longer, as in art, dependent for progress upon the appearance of continually greater genius, for in science the successors stand upon the shoulders of their predecessors; where one man of supreme genius has invented a method, a thousand lesser men can apply it. (Adams Mike)
