“Most people, most of the time, learn most of what they know about science and technology outside of school.” ~ National Science Foundation
“All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. [THE END ALWAYS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.] Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary? In” ~ Milton William Cooper, [Behold a Pale Horse]
“We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.” ~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
“Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It’s posing questions and coming up with a method. It’s delving in.” ~ Sally Ride
“Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.” ~ Edgar Allan Poe
“We’re born with a curiosity about the universe. Those people who don’t have a curiosity don’t have it because it’s gotten beaten out of them in some way.” ~ Kip Thorne
“No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.” ~ Jacob Bronowski
“Science can flourish only in an atmosphere of free speech.” ~ Albert Einstein
“Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.” ~ Richard Feynman
“The enemy of science is not religion. Religion comes in endless shapes and forms… The true enemy is the substitution of thought, reflection, and curiosity with dogma.” ~ Frans de Waal
“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci
“Science is more than a body of knowledge. It’s a way of thinking, a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes rambling along.” ~ Carl Sagan
That is also because of the nature of science pedagogy nowadays. The quote below illustrate the point: “Science students accept theories on the authority of teacher and text, not because of evidence. What alternatives have they, or what competence?” ~ Structure of Scientific Rev.

It’s almost impressive in its profound absurdity." ~ Isaac M. Morehouse
As they say in the “science” world: “Never let your findings conflict with your funding.”
