Scientific Opinion

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or opinion:

“The truth is that our race survived ignorance; it is our scientific genius that will do us in.”
—Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)

“The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
