“I'll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders. We are part of the process; we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.” WorldYearsProcessNaturalResultsDevelopmentEvolutionResearchDiscoveryBillionsEmpoweringOur RelationshipOutsidersNatural WorldExquisiteHumblingInsidersResearch And Development Book:Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation Source: Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation
“It is often asserted that woman owes all the advantages of the position she occupies to-day to Christianity, but the facts of history show that the Christian Church has done nothing specifically for woman's elevation. In the general march of civilization, she has necessarily reaped the advantage of man's higher development, but we must not claim for Christianity all that has been achieved by science, discovery and invention.” MenHas BeensDoneFactsShowsChristianChurchChristianityAtheismPositionDevelopmentHigherCivilizationDiscoveryAdvantageClaimsPositive AtheismInventionMarchElevationChristian ChurchDiscovery And Invention Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“Economic progress means the discovery and application of better ways of doing things to satisfy our wants. The piping of water to a household that previously dragged it from a well, the growing of two blades of grass where one grew before, the development of a power loom that enables one man to weave ten times as much as he could before, the use of steam power and electric power instead of horse or human power - all these things clearly represent economic progress.” MenWayWantHumansWellsMeanTwoUseWaterGrowingProgressEconomicGrewDevelopmentTenDiscoveryHorseGrassOne ManApplicationElectricHouseholdBladesBetter WaysSteamBlades Of GrassHuman PowerEconomic ProgressElectric Power Author:Kenneth E.

“We must remember when we speak of the "negativism" of the toddler that this is also the child who is intoxicated with the discoveries of the second year, a joyful child who is firmly bound to his parents and his new-found world through ties of love. The so-called negativism is one of the aspects of this development, but under ordinary circumstances it does not become anarchy. It's a kind of declaration of independence, but there is no intention to unseat the government.” WorldYearsKindChildrenDoeGovernmentRememberFoundSpeakParentDevelopmentCircumstancesOrdinaryDiscoveryAspectIndependenceIntentionBoundsTiesAnarchyJoyfulDeclarationRemember WhenDeclaration Of IndependenceToddlerIntoxicatedTies Of Love Author:Selma Fraiberg

“So, we've gone from covered wagons to going to the moon in just under 100 years. For all the centuries and thousands of years before us, people walked or rode horses, cows, camels or whatever. This so-called modern era, from the late 19th century through now, has been the period of the most amazing development, discovery, innovation and acceleration of change that humans have ever experienced.

“Royce is the father of the thesis that German idealism is a story about the discovery and development of the Kantian transcendental ego - the "I" that accompanies all my representations - as an absolute cosmic supersubject who, god-like, creates the entire universe.” StoriesUniverseFatherDevelopmentEgoDiscoveryAbsolutesCosmicRepresentationIdealismAccompanyTranscendentalThesis Author:Frederick C.

“It is they [men of science] who hold the secret of the mysterious property of the mind by which error ministers to truth, and truth slowly but irrevocably prevails. Theirs is the logic of discovery, the demonstration of the advance of knowledge and the development of ideas, which as the earthly wants and passions of men remain almost unchanged, are the charter of progress, and the vital spark in history.” MenWantMindIdeasSciencePassionSecretKnowledgeProgressDevelopmentDiscoveryLogicPropertyErrorsMysteriousMinistersSparksDemonstrationCharter Book:Lectures on Modern History Source: Lectures on Modern History
“We need to give the private sector many more powerful incentives to do research and development, to bring ideas and new discoveries to market in Canada, and commercialize them here, and stay here through successive stages of growth. But they can only do it with better government policies that give them more powerful incentive.” NeedsGivingIdeasGovernmentGrowthPowerfulStagePolicyDevelopmentResearchDiscoveryCanadaIncentivesPrivate SectorResearch And DevelopmentNew DiscoveriesGovernment Policy Author:Chris Alexander
“Best of all, persons can sometimes be app-transcendent: making dramatic progress or discoveries, without any dependence on any app. In this context, I like to mention Steve Jobs. While he had as much to do as anyone with the invention and development of apps, he NEVER was limited by the current technology - indeed, he typically transcended it and relied on his own considerable wits.” PersonsSometimesJobsTechnologyProgressDevelopmentDiscoveryCurrentsWitInventionDramaticDependenceTranscendentApps Author:Howard Gardner
