Presentation Transcript

  1. Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.Carl Sagan (1934 – 1996)

  2. "What do you think science is? There's nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. Which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?" Steven Novella

  3. In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.Stephen Jay Gould (1941 – 2002)

  4. It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.In that simple statement is the key to scienceRichard P. Feynman (1918 - 1988)

  5. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be."- Issac Asimov (1920?-1992)

  6. "Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact."Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895)

  7. Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works. Carl Sagan (1934 – 1996)
