If you want to do evil, science provides the most powerful weapons to do evil; but equally, if you want to do good, science puts into your hands the most powerful tools to do so.Richard Dawkins
Warum Wissenschaft mehr ist als das Ergebnis, allein schon die Methode ist lehr- und hilfreich:
The only way to have real success in science, is to describe the evidence very carefully without regard to the way you feel it should be. If you have a theory, you must try to explain what's good and what's bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty.Richard Feynman
