“I don't think that there's substantiated evidence that shows that voter fraud is such a rampant problem that we have to put in place measures that people have to pass in order to exercise that constitutional free right. Voting should be -- and is required to be -- a right that is unencumbered. That does not have tests that people must pass.... Anything put in place to restrict that right, or to make it more difficult for people to exercise it, should be outlawed, and should not be allowed.” PeopleThinkingShouldDoeShowsProblemOrderDifficultExerciseEvidenceTestsVotingVotersFraudVoter Fraud Author:Clay Aiken

“Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be 'observed' are manipulated to produce a new phenomena [sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.” RealitySciencePrinciplesProduceEvidenceAspectTestsStrongestRealismEntityHypothesisOntology Author:Ian Hacking
“When you look at any experimental work not directly related to economics, but trying to test rational behavior in other ways, experiments have conspicuously failed to show rational behavior. Macro evidence certainly suggests deviations from rationality, but I don't want to say the rationality hypothesis is completely wrong. If you have any introspective idea or experimental idea about people's behavior, it seems to be incompatible with the really full scale rational expectations.” PeopleIfsWayWantTryingLooksIdeasShowsSeemsBehaviorExpectationsEvidenceEconomicsTestsScalesExperimentsRationalRelatedRationalityHypothesisIntrospectiveDeviationMacro Author:Kenneth Arrow

“There is not enough evidence, consistent evidence to make it as fact, and I say that because for theory to become a fact, it needs to consistently have the same results after it goes through a series of tests. The tests that they put- that they use to support evolution do not have consistent results. Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory.” PeopleNeedsHardEnoughFactsUseScienceResultsAcceptingSupportAcceptanceTheoryEvolutionEvidenceTestsSeriesConsistentConsistently Author:Christine O'Donnell

“It's becoming clear that in a sense the cosmos provides the only laboratory where sufficiently extreme conditions are ever achieved to test new ideas on particle physics. The energies in the Big Bang were far higher than we can ever achieve on Earth. So by looking at evidence for the Big Bang, and by studying things like neutron stars, we are in effect learning something about fundamental physics.” IdeasBigsEarthScienceEnergyStarsLearningStudyClearAchieveConditionsEffectsBecomingHigherEvidenceTestsFundamentalsExtremesPhysicsCosmosNew IdeasBangsParticlesLaboratoryNeutronsParticle Physics Author:Martin Rees
“Nominally a great age of scientific inquiry, ours has become an age of superstition about the infallibility of science; of almost mystical faith in its non-mystical methods; above all-which perhaps most explains the expert's sovereignty-of external verities; of traffic-cop morality and rabbit-test truth.” AgeScienceFaithMoralityEvidenceTestsAccountsMethodExpertsSuperstitionsCopTrafficMysticalSovereigntyInquiryRabbitsInfallibility Author:Louis Kronenberger
“All interpretations made by a scientist are hypotheses, and all hypotheses are tentative. They must forever be tested and they must be revised if found to be unsatisfactory. Hence, a change of mind in a scientist, and particularly in a great scientist, is not only not a sign of weakness but rather evidence for continuing attention to the respective problem and an ability to test the hypothesis again and again.” IfsMindMadeProblemScienceFoundAbilityAttentionForeverWeaknessEvidenceTestsScientistInterpretationAgain And AgainContinuingTestedHypothesisGreat ScientistMind Changing Author:Ernst Mayr
