Science fiction works best when it stimulates debate.
‐‐ Greg Bear
Science fiction writers didn't predict the fade-out of NASA's manned space operations, and they weren't prepared with alternative routes to space when that decline became undeniable.
‐‐ Gregory Benford
Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
‐‐ Isaac Asimov
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
‐‐ Philip K. Dick
Science fiction writers missed the most salient feature of our modern era: the Internet.
‐‐ Jack McDevitt
Science fiction writers put characters into a world with arbitrary rules and work out what happens.
‐‐ Rudy Rucker
Science, for hundreds of years, has spanned the differences between cultures and between countries.
‐‐ Laurel Clark
Science gave me a cosmic religious feeling, and I would get the same feeling when I was dragged to the Met and the Museum of Modern Art.
‐‐ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Science gives us a powerful vocabulary, and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.
‐‐ John Charles Polanyi
Science goes from question to question; big questions, and little, tentative answers. The questions as they age grow ever broader, the answers are seen to be more limited.
‐‐ George Wald
Science goes through fads, and there are big ups and crashes.
‐‐ Eric Betzig
Science grows like a weed every year.
‐‐ Kary Mullis
Science has a culture that is inherently cautious and that is normally not a bad thing. You could even say conservative, because of the peer review process and because the scientific method prizes uncertainty and penalises anyone who goes out on any sort of a limb that is not held in place by abundant and well-documented evidence.
‐‐ Al Gore
Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.
‐‐ Vannevar Bush
Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.
‐‐ James D. Watson
Science has authority, not because of white coats, or titles, but because of precision and transparency: you explain your theory, set out your evidence, and reference the studies that support your case.
‐‐ Ben Goldacre
Science has become politicized, and that's an embarrassment.
‐‐ Seth MacFarlane
Science has become something that everybody knows he has to pay attention to, but not everybody is a believer. So I don't think we should equate science with religion. But, that science is progressively playing a more and more important part in the life of every individual is obvious.
‐‐ Chen-Ning Yang
Science has been quite embattled. It's the most important thing there is. An arts graduate is not going to fix global warming. They may do other valuable things, but they are not going to fix the planet or cure cancer or get rid of malaria.
‐‐ Bill Bryson
Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.
‐‐ John Burroughs
Science has everything to say about what is possible. Science has nothing to say about what is permissible.
‐‐ Charles Krauthammer
Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
‐‐ Aldous Huxley
Science has faith. We make postulates. We can't prove those postulates, but we have faith in them.
‐‐ Charles H. Townes
Science has fulfilled her function when she has ascertained and enunciated truth.
‐‐ Thomas Huxley
Science has killed religion. There's no hope for the future with seven billion of us on the planet, and the only thing you can do is to laugh in the face of it all.
‐‐ T. C. Boyle
Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men.
‐‐ Jean Rostand
Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.
‐‐ Kary Mullis
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
‐‐ Charles Henry Parkhurst
Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
‐‐ Neil Armstrong
Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.
‐‐ Edgar Allan Poe
Science has nothing in common with religion. Facts and miracles never did and never will agree.
‐‐ Robert Green Ingersoll
Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.
‐‐ Jacob Bronowski
Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.
‐‐ John Boyd Orr
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
‐‐ Ashley Montagu
Science has proved that everything is energy, and now they have dark energy, dark matter. They don't call it all-embracing consciousness; they call it dark because they can't measure it. You know, paint it black.
‐‐ Dave Davies
Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms... For example, I am made up of 5.8x10 27 atoms.
‐‐ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.
‐‐ Tryon Edwards
Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
Science has to be understood in its broadest sense, as a method for comprehending all observable reality, and not merely as an instrument for acquiring specialized knowledge.
‐‐ Alexis Carrel
Science has very definite faith components, and most religions don't stick to faith. They venture out into making predictions about our physical world. They don't just say there's something that is completely unconnected to us. They say actually it affects a lot. And when they do that, they merge.
‐‐ George M. Church
Science has yet to isolate the Godiva Chocolate or Prada gene, but that doesn't mean your weakness for pricey swag isn't woven into your DNA. According to a new study of identical twins, it's less TV ads or Labor Day sales that make you buy the things you do than the tastes and temperaments that are already part of you at birth.
‐‐ Jeffrey Kluger
Science ignores the spiritual realm because it is not amenable to scientific analysis. As importantly, the predictive success of Newtonian theory, emphasizing the primacy of a physical Universe, made the existence of spirit and God an extraneous hypothesis that offered no explanatory principles needed by science.
‐‐ Bruce Lipton
Science in textbooks is not fun. But if you start doing science yourself, you will find delight.
‐‐ Masatoshi Koshiba
Science, in the broadest sense, includes all reasonable claims to knowledge about ourselves and the world.
‐‐ Sam Harris
Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.
‐‐ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.
‐‐ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.
‐‐ Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
‐‐ Alan Turing
Science is a field which grows continuously with ever expanding frontiers.
‐‐ John Bardeen
Science is a little bit more than a wonderful way of modelling and predicting; it's a wonderful technical abstraction. I think science is a really wonderful technical abstraction.
‐‐ Bernard Beckett
