The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

Man, like every other animal, has no doubt advanced to his present high condition through a struggle for existence consequent on his multiplication; and if he is to advance still higher, it is to be feared that he must remain subject to a severe struggle.

The highest wisdom has but one science - the science of the whole - the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.

We will now discuss in a little more detail the Struggle for Existence.

I'm one of those people that think Thomas Edison and the light bulb changed the world more than Karl Marx ever did.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill.
