When Reputable Scientists Correct Flaws In An Experiment That Produced Fantastic Results, Then Fail To Get Those Results When They Repeat The Test With Flaws Corrected, They Withdraw Their Original Claims. They Do Not Defend Them By Arguing Irrelevantly That The Failed Replication Was Successful In Some Other Way, Or By Making Intemperate Attacks On Whomever Dares To Criticize Their Competence.

If Present Trends Continue, Our Country May Soon Find Itself Far Behind Many Other Nations In Both Science And Technology Nations Where, If You Inform Strangers That You Are A Mathematician, They Respond With Admiration And Not By Telling You How Much They Hated Math In School, And How They Sure Could Use You To Balance Their Checkbooks.

The Universe Is Almost Like A Huge Magic Trick And Scientists Are Trying To Figure Out How It Does What It Does.

If God Creates A World Of Particles And Waves, Dancing In Obedience To Mathematical And Physical Laws, Who Are We To Say That He Cannot Make Use Of Those Laws To Cover The Surface Of A Small Planet With Living Creatures?

The Computers Are Not Replacing Mathematicians; They Are Breeding Them.
