SCIENCE

The earth is flat, and anyone who disputes this claim is an atheist who deserves to be punished.

Muslim religious edict, 1993 Sheik Abdel-Aziz Ibn Baaz Supreme religious authority, Saudi Arabia

Science has promised us truth. It has never promised us either peace or happiness.

Gustave Le Bon

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.

General Omar Bradley

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.

Jacob Bronowski

Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.

John Calvin

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

Albert Einstein

The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

Since the Holy Spirit did not intend to teach us whether heaven moves or stands still, nor whether the earth is located at its center or off to one side, then so much the less was it intended to settle for us any other conclusion of the same kind.

Now if the Holy Spirit has purposely neglected to teach us propositions of this sort as irrelevant to the highest goal (that is, to our salvation), how can anyone affirm that it is obligatory to take sides on them?

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree: “The intention of the Holy Spirit is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how heaven goes.”

Galileo

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all- the apathy of human beings.

Helen Keller

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The scientists split the atom; now the atom is splitting us.
