To do science means to be prepared to be wrong.

In the social constructionist view, knowledge is constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed through ideological discourse.
In the essentialist view, knowledge is discovered, repressed, suppressed, and recovered through history and experience.

Strict definitions of normality have no real basis in science.

Science's most useful lesson is that we can only feel secure in our knowledge by constantly doubting and testing it.
That's why belief without evidence undermines our ability to solve our problems.

It suggests a lack of respect for nature when you have to invent explanations instead of humbly realize that you understand so little.

Science can't prove something, it can support a hypothesis, and it can disprove an idea.
