Science

"The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
        --Albert Einstein

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."
        --Galileo Galilei

"The basic difficulty inherent in any investigation of phenomena such as those of psychic research or of UFOs is that it is impossible for science ever to prove a universal negative. There will be cases which remain unexplained because of lack of data, lack of repeatability, false reporting, wishful thinking, deluded observers, rumors, lies, and fraud. A residue of unexplained cases is not a justification for continuing an investigation after overwhelming evidence has disposed of hypothesis of supernormality, such as beings from outer space or communications from the dead. Unexplained cases are simply unexplained. They can never constitute evidence for any hypothesis."
        --Hudson Hoaglund

"Some people certainly are making a fight against the ape [evolution]. It seems the truth kinder hurts. Now, if a man didn't act like a monkey, he wouldn't have to be proving that he didn't come from one."
        --Will Rogers
