Kenneth R. Brown, professor of biology at Brown University
said, "Scientific theories are not hunches. When we say 'theory,' we
mean a strong, overarching explanation that ties together many facts
and enables us to make testable predictions."

Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

(I found a similar quote and thought these should be posted together, Even though they aren't identical, they say the same thing. I guess after 200+ years things may not get "quoted" properly................Scott)

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." -Benjamin Franklin

I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many
years. Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with
gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him
up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim,
while a book can keep on exploding for centuries. - Christopher Morley


"The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error." - Bertolt Brecht


Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. -
Mark Twain


"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
-- Albert Einstein
