1 " When the evidence for an anomaly becomes overwhelming, and the anomaly cannot be easily accommodated by the existing scientific worldview, this is a very important sign that either our assumptions about reality are wrong or our assumptions about how we come to understand things are wrong. "

3 " No part of the aim of normal science is to call forth new sorts of phenomena; indeed those that will not fit the box are often not seen at all. "

5 " One of the most profitable consequences of science as an “open system” of knowledge, as opposed to rigid dogma, is that the future Laws of Nature will bear as much resemblance to the “laws” we know today as the cellular telephone does to smoke signals.

6 " As science attained unprecedented power through its ability to predict and control certain limited aspects of nature, it also began to overshadow our understanding of ethics and values. History has shown that decisions affecting millions were made on the basis of industrial expediency, technological imperatives, and economic pressures. Just as the absolute power held by the church for centuries had been seductive, the growing power of science had seduced as well.6 "
7 " About all we know about consciousness is that it has something to do with the head, rather than the foot. "
