Much of contemporary science is really the length and shadow of the technology we apply.

Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.

Science is not, despite how it is often portrayed, about absolute truths. It is about developing an understanding of the world, making predictions, and then testing these predictions.

Science - or the products of science like technology - is just a way of achieving something real, something that happens, something that works.

Modern science is predicated on 'truths' verified through accurate observation and measurements of physical world phenomena.

Science is based on reproducibility and manufactured objectivity. As strong as that makes its ability to generate claims about matter and energy, it also makes scientific knowledge inapplicable to the existential, visceral nature of human life, which is unique and subjective and unpredictable.

The 'science' in 'science fiction' isn't just physics and engineering. It can also be linguistics, anthropology, and psychology.

Science is simply a powerful way of understanding what's real and what isn't, what's true and what's not. It can help us determine what works, what doesn't, for whom, and under what circumstances.

Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality.

For more than 200 years, materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs.
