There are some women whose pregnancy would make some sly bachelor smile.

If you look at the purported dangers of salt or fat there is no consensus of support in scientific literature. So I would ask first: 'Is it possible to have an informed government that actually follows the science?' From what I've seen it's not likely.

The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.

If modernist naturalism were true there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference or political power and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.

1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.

Of the two I would think of my work as closer to Science Fiction than Fantasy.

Science moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth once found would be simple as well as pretty.

I would argue that the issue of God and the issue of science have the same roots.

I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science.

Today's recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago.

And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them you're healthier than if you don't. In fact there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and in fact they make you healthier.

A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If as some evidence suggests exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life studying them could revolutionise biology medicine and biotechnology.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.

I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist whatever that means.

I would love to photograph Stephen Hawking. I am just fascinated by science I really am.

To recover a spiritual tradition in which creation and the study of creation matters would be to inaugurate new possibilities between spirituality and science that would shape the paradigms for culture its institution and its people.

In some parts of life like mathematics and science yeah I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.

No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural really that I would take that interest.

Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre which at one time offered great musical opportunities.

We sat around on a hotel balcony with a bottle of wine and tried to figure out how you would go about blowing up a planet. That's the kind of conversations science fiction writers have when they get together. We don't talk about football or anything like that.

One would have to have completely forgotten the history of science so as to not remember that the desire to know nature has had the most constant and the happiest influence on the development of mathematics.

Much of what Tea Party candidates claimed about the world and the global economy during the 2010 elections would have earned their adherents a well-deserved F in any freshman economics (or earth science) class.
