Science at its best is an open-minded method of inquiry, not a belief system.

The facts of science are real enough, and so are the techniques that scientists use, and so are the technologies based on them. But the belief system that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith.

Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical.

The simplest and cheapest of all reforms within institutional science is to switch from the passive to the active voice in writing about science.

In both religion and science, some people are dishonest, exploitative, incompetent and exhibit other human failings.

Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.
