Science goes from question to question big questions and little tentative answers. The questions as they age grow ever broader the answers are seen to be more limited.

I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle which is a bunch of crap.

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.

Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it.

The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?'

The question I love to get asked is: 'What's the hardest part of your job?' And literally the answer is probably real sad but it's to just to be me. Like it's really hard because I think people you know have a set idea of what a pop star should be.

I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president not who is the better American.

Whenever I go out so many people who respect me ask me what to do in a certain situation. A lot of times I didn't know the answers because sometimes I was going through the same sort of thing. But then later on I would think of things that people told me.
