Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact. -- Thomas Huxley
There is no controversy within science over the core proposition of evolutionary theory. -- Kenneth R. Miller
The end of science is not to prove a theory, but to improve mankind. -- Manly Hall
The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues. -- Michael Behe
Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none. -- Thomas Kuhn
Moreover, in the experimental sciences, the scientific fraternity must test a new theory to destruction, if possible. -- Peter D. Mitchell
The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science. -- Geoffrey West
I take the view that we all have permission to be a little baffled by quantum information science and algorithmic information theory. -- James Gleick
Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well. -- Roy H. Williams
Although scientists can often be as resistant to new ideas as anyone, the process of science ensures that, over time, good ideas and theories prevail. -- Dean Ornish
The progress of science is strewn, like an ancient desert trail, with the bleached skeleton of discarded theories which once seemed to possess eternal life. -- Arthur Koestler
The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science. -- David Hilbert
The monopoly of science in the realm of knowledge explains why evolutionary biologists do not find it meaningful to address the question whether the Darwinian theory is true. -- Phillip E. Johnson
The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms. -- John B. S. Haldane
Whether the ice caps melt, or expand - whatever happens - the anthropogenic global warming theorists claim it confirms their theory. A perfect example of a pseudo-science like astrology. -- Frank Tipler
My present work concerns the problems connected with the theory of elementary particles, the theory of gravitation and cosmology and I shall be glad if I can manage to make some contribution to these important branches of science. -- Andrei Sakharov
If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power. -- Imre Lakatos
The 'science' for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution. -- Ray Comfort
Literary theory has become a parody of science, generating its own arcane jargon. In the process, tragically, it discourages love of literature for its own sake. -- Nancy Pearcey
Don't confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science. -- Martin H. Fischer

It is curious how often erroneous theories have had a beneficial effect for particular branches of science. -- Ernst Mayr
Damn, but science is just a constant feed of cool new facts and theories. Theology doesn't come close. -- Jerry A. Coyne
Pseudoscience describes theories that sound like science but are actually just made up, like aromatherapy or biorhythms or love. -- Craig Ferguson
Progress in science is often built on wrong theories that are later corrected. It is better to be wrong than to be vague. -- Freeman Dyson
If the aim of physical theories is to explain experimental laws, theoretical physics is not an autonomous science; it is subordinate to metaphysics. -- Pierre Duhem
Theories are like a stairway; by climbing, science widens its horizon more and more, because theories embody and necessarily include proportionately more facts as they advance. -- Claude Bernard
Well-observed facts, though brought to light by passing theories, will never die; they are the material on which alone the house of science will at last be built. -- Claude Bernard
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
As theories increased, simple medicines..were forgotten, at least in the politer nations. ...Medical books, were immensely multiplied,...(towards) an abstruse science, quite out of reach of ordinary men. -- John Wesley
