“All scientists have found that preconceived notions, dogmas, and all personal prejudice and bias, must be set aside, listening patiently, quietly and reverently to the lessons, one by one, which Mother Nature has to teach, shedding light on that which was before a mystery, so that all who will may see and know. She conveys her truths only to those who are passive and receptive.” KnowsMayLightMotherFoundNatureTeachMysteryListeningLessonsScientistPrejudiceNotionDogmaPassiveBiasMother NatureReceptivePreconceived NotionsShedding Light Author:Luther Burbank

And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment.” ThinkingNatureDealsConditionsWeaponsFundamentalsNotionIsraelNuclearIranRegimesNuclear WeaponsRecognizingIranian Author:Barack Obama

“We may... have to relinquish the notion, explicit or implicit, that changes of paradigm carry scientists and those who learn from them closer and closer to the truth... The developmental process described in this essay has been a process of evolution from primitive beginnings-a process whose successive stages are characterized by an increasingly detailed and refined understanding of nature. But nothing that has been or will be said makes it a process of evolution toward anything.” MayHas BeensSaidScienceProcessUnderstandingNatureStageEvolutionScientistNotionPrimitiveEssaysParadigmRefinedExplicitImplicitDevelopmental Author:Thomas Kuhn
“Science seems to me to teach in the highest and strongest manner the great truth which is embodied in the Christian conception of entire surrender to the will of God. Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing. I have only begun to learn content and peace of mind since I have resolved at all risks to do this.” GivingMindChildrenLittlesGodFactsSeemsChristianScienceNatureTeachRiskGiving UpHighestAccountsPreparedNotionSurrenderGods WillPeace Of MindStrongestConceptionBe PreparedAbyssEnquiryPreconceived Notions Author:Thomas Huxley
