If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions.

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

Scientists are very afraid of being proven wrong.

It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural.

I oppose any belief that contradicts experimental evidence as determined by the methods of science. All beliefs not in such contradiction may be considered as faith. Whether faith in a particular belief is beneficial or not is another matter.

The insidiousness of science lies in its claim to be not a subject, but a method.

My personal conviction is that science is concerned wholly with truth, not with ethics.

Is there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power - power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.

Education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism.
