  • Sure, science involves trial and error. Scientists refine theories each day. But as they do, they help us grasp more clearly the wonders of the world and the universe. -- Tony Snow

But we currently have the same problem with the notion of parallel universes. -- Seth Shostak
  • There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact.
