“Science starts with preconception, with the common culture, and with common sense. It moves on to observation, is marked by the discovery of paradox, and is then concerned with the correction of preconception. It moves then to use these corrections for the designing of further observation and for more refined experiment. And as it moves along this course the nature of the evidence and experience that nourish it becomes more and more unfamiliar; it is not just the language that is strange [to common culture].” UseMovingScienceCultureCoursesLanguageCommonDesignStrangeEvidenceDiscoveryConcernedExperimentsCommon SenseObservationParadoxRefinedUnfamiliarCorrectionsPreconceptionsCommon Culture Author:J.

“In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long trek. Coolies had been engaged from a tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The traveler had high hopes of a speedy journey. But the second morning these jungle tribesmen refused to move. For some strange reason they just sat and rested. On inquiry as to the reason for this strange behavior, the traveler was informed that they had gone too fast the first day, and that they were now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies.” FirstsLongSoulReasonBodyMovingWaitingMorningGoneJourneyStrangeBehaviorSatEngagedLoadTravelerTribesInquiryJungle Author:Lettie Cowman

“The medieval theologian who gazed at the night sky through the eyes of Aristotle and saw angels moving the spheres in harmony has become the modern cosmologist who gazes at the same sky through the eyes of Einstein and sees the hand of God not in angels but in the constants of nature. When confronted with the order and beauty of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it¹s very tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it.” WantHandsEyeMovingNightOrderUniverseWishSawsSkyModernStrangeAngelHarmonyLeapSpheresCoincidenceTheologianPhysicistMedievalNight SkyTemptingThrough The EyesHands Of GodLeap Of Faith Author:Tony Rothman

“We should not laugh at the person who becoming caught up in his prayer bends his body or moves about in strange ways. Perhaps he moves in this manner to wave off unwelcome thoughts that would interrupt the prayer.
