Quotes About Science

The difference between myth and science is the difference between divine inspiration of unaided reason' on the one hand and theories developed in observational contact with the real world on the other. [It is] the difference between the belief in prophets and critical thinking, between Credo quia absurdum [I believe because it is absurdTertullian.] and De omnibus est dubitandum [Everything should be questionedDescartes.]. To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly large regions of space and time is science.
