“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
ReplyDeleteThis quote is more appealing to me than the others listed. I feel that it's a fairly true statement. I kind of feel that ignorance & the illusion of knowledge is kind of the same thing.
~Abby Gilbert
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” – Einstein
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily agree with any of these quotes. I don't believe science without religion is lame. Science is more concrete due to trial and error, needing proof, evaluation, and reevaluation. However, religion is blind without science. Science creates knowledge. Religion creates belief.
“The more I study science, the more I believe in God.” – Einstein
ReplyDeleteI do not really agree with any of these quotes. Personally, I do not think that this quote pertains to my beliefs. I do think that religion and science are very compatible ways of thinking, however, my belief in God does not grow stronger as my knowledge of science grows.

ReplyDelete“I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.” – Galileo
ReplyDeleteI found this quote quite interesting. I think that as man moves forward, there is going to be a larger emphasis on science as opposed to religion and faith. There is already evidence that this is occurring. Within the last century, a teacher in Tennessee began to illegally teach evolution in a classroom where creationism was the accepted paradigm. Who is to say that by the time the next 100 years pass, it will be illegal to teach creationism?
“I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.” – Galileo
ReplyDeleteWhen problems arise beginning with experiment and demonstrations provides proof of why things are facts. By going with scripture you are going with something that was handed down for generations and personal beliefs other fact and proof. People use scripture at times to explain things things they aren't sure of or for a purpose to believe in a higher power. Experiments and demonstrations provide facts and proof
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
ReplyDeleteThis quote stands out to me the most. The truth can be manipulated very easily and far too many people can be misleading for gain, if there's something you care enough about, go out and find the truth for yourself. I feel like we follow blindly too often because this person or that person sounds like they know what they're talking about. As Inherit the wind said things are not always black or white, and sometimes we have to develop our own opinions.

ReplyDelete“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
ReplyDeleteI agree the most with this quote. If you are not claiming to be knowledgeable about a particular topic, and you truly do not know information about the topic, there is no issue. Simply educate and understand the facts of the topic. However, an issue arises if you claim and you believe that you are knowledgeable on a topic when in fact you know nothing or minimal information about it.
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
ReplyDeleteI interpret this as meaning that people who may think they are knowledgeable about a subject, share these inaccuracies with others. They are possibly spreading falsehoods passed on as facts, because of their own ignorance.

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” – Galileo
ReplyDeleteGod did not hand us the tools to advance our knowledge for us to not put those tools to good use. Rachel from "Inherit the Wind", is a great example of this quote. Out of fear she neglected to use the tools that God gave her to have her own thoughts and ideas.
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
ReplyDeleteI like this quote the best because we all have an enemy of something and knowledge has such a huge capacity, we sometimes fear it. Once your knowledge is put to use, you can see all the possibilities.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
ReplyDeleteA person who is ignorant is lacking knowledge and if they are willing to gain it they will by their efforts acquire more knowledge. In contrast, someone who believes that he has all the knowledge does not see the actual knowledge available and never learns it. - Lindsay Spurgeon
“The more I study science, the more I believe in God.” – Einstein
ReplyDeleteI personally like this quote. I feel there is a place and a union where science and God can meet. Nothing has to be black and white we can have some grey. Yes science is based on absolutes, but we start with theories. God is based on faith, the unknown. We test both and come to our own truths.
"The more I study science, the more I believe in God."-Einstein
ReplyDeleteThis quote stands out to me because I feel that for most people they either believe in God or they didn't from the very beginning. Yes I know that this is not always the case. Many were believing well before some of these scientific findings were brought to light. Although God can not be confirmed, religious people have faith in what they are told in regards to him. Science is just the research and confirmation one needs to believe in some concrete theories.
“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” – Galileo
ReplyDeleteI believe Galileo was trying to say that God made us smart, intellectual people and wanted us to broaden our knowledge. There should be no limits to the things we should explore and experiment in order to understand the world we live in.
"The more I study science, the more I believe in God" -Einstein
ReplyDeleteThis quote makes a lot of sense to me. I have studied various aspects of science over the past ten years, and I have to agree with Einstein. Science reveals the complexity and detail that is required to create and sustain life here on earth. In my opinion, these meticulous details prove the existence of a higher power or God. The knowledge that I have obtained regarding the human body and its capabilities strengthens my personal faith in God. I believe that science can and does enhance religion.

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” – Einstein
ReplyDeleteI really like this quote. I think that it supports the reason why religion should not be taken out of the school system. I think this says that science puts a whole new meaning to religion. I believe that by teaching both religion and science in schools will give kids a more diverse way of thinking about how the world was created. It will ultimately be left up to them which one they believe and choose to follow in the end.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
ReplyDeleteThis quote reminds me of those who believe they know it all. Even though doctors went to school for so many years and received a PH does it mean that they can tell me my pain is a lie and that they found nothing wrong. If I hurt than I feel it, not them. To have knowledge is not just book knowledge but also knowledge to know we are all different. Not everybody understands everything they same as everyone else, criticism is wrong.
