It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people.

There's a lot of faith expressed by scientists about science. It's kind of an act of faith that science is a good thing. We don't know that for sure. We may not know that millions of years from now.

Science and technology are the keys to both our longevity and our demise. Our entire existence on this planet is a double-edged sword.

We now witness the constructive work on a foundation that will endure through the ages. That foundation is the god of science - revealed to us in terms that will harmonize with our intelligence.

Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.

I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.

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

We foresee no limit to scientific advancement in the future, and in scientific truth there is nothing dead; science is always a living and growing body of knowledge; but art on the contrary has many times run its course to an end, and exhausted its vital power.

The facts of science are real enough, and so are the techniques that scientists use, and so are the technologies based on them. But the belief system that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith.
