And by the way I wanted to point out that Kindred is not science fiction. You'll note there's no science in it. It's a kind of grim fantasy.
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
People and especially theologians should try to familiarize themselves with scientific ideas. Of course science is technical in many respects but there are some very good books that try to set out some of the conceptual structure of science.
Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life.
Well logos is science or reason something that helps us to function practically and effectively in the world and it must therefore be closely in tune and reflect accurately the realities of the world around us.
I don't think there's a date minimum or maximum. I don't get the whole 'All right you've got to wait three days to call after the date.' If I got a number from a girl I'd call that night. There's no science to it for me. You just do what it is that you feel like doing.
If I can get some student interested in science if I can show members of the general public what's going on up there in the space program then my job's been done.
It may be that everything the life science companies are telling us will turn out to be right and there's no problem here whatsoever. That defies logic.
When I began in 1960 individuality wasn't an accepted thing to look for it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There's room for intuition.
We're as clever as we think we are but we'll be a lot cleverer when we learn to use not just one brain but to pool huge numbers of brains. We're at a level technologically where we can share information and think collectively about our problems. We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors.
If Christianity is not scientific and Science is not God then there is no invariable law and truth becomes an accident.
There are no such things as applied sciences only applications of science.
The most watched programme on the BBC after the news is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.
A powerful attraction exists therefore to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.
I don't read 'chick lit ' fantasy or science fiction but I'll give any book a chance if it's lying there and I've got half an hour to kill.
Traditional science assumes for the most part that an objective observer independent reality exists the universe stars galaxies sun moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow between science and superstition.
Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it and it always has been.
Science reckons many prophets but there is not even a promise of a Messiah.
Science coverage could be improved by the recognition that science is timeless and therefore science stories should not need to be pegged to an item in the news.
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know evolution is about as certain as anything we know.
