3 December 2020 Mike Pence While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.
3 December 2020 Brit Marling I didn’t understand how you could be an actor if you didn’t also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.
3 December 2020 John Desmond Bernal It is characteristic of science that the full explanations are often seized in their essence by the percipient scientist long in advance of any possible proof.
3 December 2020 Suzanne Fields American high school students trail teenagers from 14 European and Asian countries in reading, math and science. We’re even trailing France.
3 December 2020 James Lovelock If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.
3 December 2020 Clifford Geertz I think the perception of there being a deep gulf between science and the humanities is false.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein The nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not.
3 December 2020 Stephen Jay Gould 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.
3 December 2020 Steve Martin Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It’s just always all in the way you use it. So there’s no – you can’t really blame anything on the technology. It’s just the way people use it, and it always has been.
3 December 2020 John Polkinghorne People, and especially theologians, should try to familiarize themselves with scientific ideas. Of course, science is technical in many respects, but there are some very good books that try to set out some of the conceptual structure of science.
3 December 2020 Mike Johanns We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners.

3 December 2020 Kevin J. Anderson Dune is the bestselling science fiction book of all time. It’s something you really need to read in your lifetime. If you’re going to read The Lord of the Rings, which everyone should, then you have to read Dune, too.
3 December 2020 Michael Behe The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues.
3 December 2020 Ray Comfort The ‘science’ for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution.
3 December 2020 Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr Human relations are built on feeling, not on reason or knowledge. And feeling is not an exact science like all spiritual qualities, it has the vagueness of greatness about it.
3 December 2020 Herbert Hoover New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
3 December 2020 Julia Roberts ‘Snow White’ is an old fairy tale, so obviously the idea of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today’s science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It’s bizarre.
3 December 2020 Henri Poincare Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
3 December 2020 Richard Eyre I sort of feel that climate change will be solved by science. I just feel instinctively that we will find a way of saving ourselves. But I am less confident that we won’t destroy ourselves in other ways.
3 December 2020 Michael Behe It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural.
