Pentru logoreele lui abc și insistențele lui mario:

Different ‘philosophies’ represent nothing but methods of evaluation, which may lead to empirical mis-evaluation if science and empirical facts are disregarded.

The Universe is a grand book which cannot be read until one first learns to comprehend the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of mathematics.

"Când a descoperit că îndelungata credință a lui nu se potrivește cu observațiile precise, el a acceptat faptele stânjenitoare. Kepler a preferat adevărul dur în locul iluziilor plăcute, asta este esența științei."

There’s no tradition of scientists knocking down the Sunday school door, telling the preacher, That might not necessarily be true. That’s never happened. There’re no scientists picketing outside of churches.

"Adevărul religios" nu are semnificație pentru mine, cercetarea științifică are calitatea de a reduce credințele în superstiții, prin încurajarea gândirii critice a oamenilor, ajutându-i să vadă lucrurile în termeni de cauză și efect. Desigur, aceasta este o convingere oarecum asemănătoare cu sentimentul religios, dar raționalitatea și încrederea în inteligibilitatea lumii se află în spatele tuturor teoriilor științifice importante.

Science doesn't purvey absolute truth. Science is a mechanism, a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature. It's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe and seeing whether they match.

It’s insulting to imply that only a system of rewards and punishments can keep you a decent human being.

- Isaac Asimov

Quote

Analytically re-evaluating one's faith as an adult requires a tremendous amount of courage and vigour. To do so, they must overcome:
  • Religious instructions to defer to authority.
  • Implied instructions to not question faith.
  • Perceptions that questioning is risky and/or evil.
  • The nastiness of some skeptics (e.g., living examples of the "evil" of questioning)
  • Accusations that the questioner's "real problem" is something spiritual and not intellectual.
  • Desperate feelings that the faith "has to be true", precluding need for further analysis.
  • Anecdotal proofs and feel-good stories ("testimonies") that offer emotional evidence for faith.
  • Single-shot ad hoc arguments (emotional or intellectual) that preclude comprehensive analysis
  • Apologetics literature or speakers that sound convincing initially, esp. when presented without opposing views.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light‐years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.

As the authors tell us, there are two distinct kinds of knowledge: logical and mathematical truth (statements that are certain within a given formal system), and scientific truth, never absolutely certain, but which can be accepted with a degree of probability that in many instances is practically indistinguishable from certainty. It takes a bizarre kind of mind to imagine that two plus two could be anything but four, or that, as the authors put it, cows can jump over the moon or rabbits lay multicolored eggs.

The whole point of science is that most of it is uncertain. That's why science is exciting--because we don't know. Science is all about things we don't understand. The public, of course, imagines science is just a set of facts. But it's not. Science is a process of exploring, which is always partial. We explore, and we find out things that we understand. We find out things we thought we understood were wrong. That's how it makes progress.

Ştiinţa este un mod de a lămuri felul în care ceva necunoscut devine cunoscut, în ce măsură lucrurile sunt cunoscute (căci nimic nu e cunoscut în mod absolut), cum trebuie operat cu îndoiala şi incertitudinea, care sunt regulile demonstraţiei, cum să concepem lucrurile astfel încât să putem emite judecăţi, cum să deosebim adevărul de escrocherie şi de spectacol.
