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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts.
Science is facts.
Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Scientific facts are often described in textbooks as if they just sort of exist, like nickels someone picked up on the street. But science at the cutting edge, conducted by sharp minds probing deep into nature, is not about self-evident facts. It is about mystery and not knowing. It is about taking huge risks.
Science is not a thing. It's a verb. It's a way of thinking about things. It's a way of looking for natural explanations for all phenomena.
Science is but an image of the truth.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Facts are not science - as the dictionary is not literature.
Science is not a collection of facts; it is a process of discovery.
