The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began. Phillip E. Johnson
If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming. Phillip E. Johnson
The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease, but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science. Phillip E. Johnson
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

But there is only one surefire method of proper pattern recognition, and that is science. Michael Shermer
Anecdotal thinking comes naturally science requires training. Michael Shermer
We know evolution happened because innumerable bits of data from myriad fields of science conjoin to paint a rich portrait of life's pilgrimage. Michael Shermer

Rocket science has been mythologized all out of proportion to its true difficulty. John Carmack
There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person. Elizabeth Moon
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art. Anne Stevenson
One of my degrees was a science degree in biology. Elizabeth Moon
I was horrible at science and math. I couldn't pass a test to save my life! I'm surprised that it didn't take me until I was 20 to graduate. That's why my role is so cool - Grissom is the complete opposite of me. William Petersen
My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world. Elizabeth Moon
