The Truth About Science. Science is something which needs to be understood and controlled by society. Science can bring society great benefits but also great problems and fail to provide deep truths.
Nobel prize winning physicist B. Laughlin has said; "--it is necessary in science to take stock every now and then and reevaluate what one deeply understands and what one does not." We highly recommend his book; "A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down." If basic physics needs reinventing, what about medical science.
The truth is that science can also be underused as we believe is the case with cancer science. (In cancer science, the truth is that there is real cause for optimism now, and what the actual science shows is not consistent with much of what the medical community would have us believe. A better understanding of cancer truths and the importance of nutrition is an important key to beating cancer.)
Sadly, too often, bureaucratic and legal concerns override the timely use of the latest medical science and the patients needs. The cancer researchers have made great progress in understanding cancer genesis, cancer prevention and much better cancer treatment. What is now known about cancer is, however, not being transferred rapidly enough to cancer treatment in the field. Cancer patients need the new science now. Cancer does not wait for the treatments to filter through the bureaucracy. Yesterdays cancer treatments often do not meet the needs of cancer patients. The truth of a wealth of science is that cancer can be cured in a lot more cases, now! We strongly recommend the book; "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" written by a Dr. Quillin. Excerpts from the book at the doctor's site.
In the October 2004 issue of Scientific American, the article The Hidden Genetic Program of Complex Organisms on page 61, states "Assumptions can be dangerous, especially in science --Eventually, if the volume of troublesome information becomes unsustainable, the orthodoxy must collapse." We would add; the question is; how much damage to society is being done in the meantime by dangerous assumptions and unwarranted orthodoxy? Modern society does not need and may not be able to tolerate the damage being done by erroneous representation of and the misuse of science. Science is generally a good thing, but it is also open to misunderstanding (by the scientist themselves) and misuse.
From the April 2007 issue of Scientific American on page 24; "Today's cancer chemotherapy consists of little more than a dismal array of toxic drugs that kill healthy cells along with cancerous ones." We would argue that better cancer therapy is available if the patients understand the truth and search out better cancer doctors and better cancer therapy with specific nutrition during and after the therapy. Pre-therapy nutrition can also be important.
Cancer clinical trials are too slow and at the very least, doctors need to use "off label" drug options to take advantage of what has been proven in one type of cancer to treat other types. Any cancer treatment proven in one type of cancer can be used in other types of cancer in the majority of states. As noted in the Scientific American article at the end, the idea of cancer being strictly organ defined does not represent the full truth about cancer. Patients and doctors need to understand that and cancer treatments need to reflect that. Get on the net, search for the cancer science at the NIH and read the conclusions about an array of cancer science that gives hope now.
Physicist Richard Feynman; "--researchers in many areas of science or scholarship are so blinded by their own herd mentality, or collectivist ideology, or rent-seeking behavior, that they commonly act, both for themselves and in judgment of others, in denial of it." We believe that this applies also to the medical establishment in the case of cancer treatment.
Physicists Max Plank said, "Over the entrance to the gates to the temple of science are written the words; Ye Must Have Faith." The question we all must answer is faith in whom: fallible and biased scientists, or God? Faith in science models of reality or the actual experience and truths of reality?
We highly recommend the book; "The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions" by D. Berlinski.
"Our society must retain its moral vision if we are to make good decisions in directing science. Science alone provides no vision." -Albert Einstein
Mathematician and Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead said: "If science is not to degenerate into a medley of ad hoc hypotheses, it must become philosophical and must enter upon a thorough criticism of its own foundations."
"Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty—some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain." -Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman
"If there ever was a misnomer, it's 'exact science." -Physicist Edward Teller
"All physical theories... ought to lend themselves to so simple a description that even a child could understand them." -Albert Einstein
"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."
-Albert Einstein
"Science cannot be regarded as a thing apart to be studied or ignored; it is a vital part of our culture."
-W.S. Beck
"Our science has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
-Martin Luther King
"I maintain that cosmic religiousness is the strongest and most noble driving force of scientific research."
-Albert Einstein
"Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier bring us so little happiness?" -Albert Einstein
"If we could first know where we are, and wither we are tending, we could better judge what to do, and how to do it." -Abraham Lincoln
Sadly, science is not doing much self-criticism and the citizenry must see to it that it does. "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe—a spirit vastly superior to that of man." -Albert Einstein (We would qualify this today as "everyone with an open mind.")
"Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discovers of objective truth." -Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein also recognized the limits of human intellect when he said "The scientist is possessed by a sense of universal causation...his religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony
of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages." Science Quotes : "Science Says" By R. Kaplan

TEN MYTHS OF SCIENCE: REEXAMINING WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW
We strongly recommend reading the book; "A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics From The Bottom Down, by R. Laughlin, Nobel Prize physicist. Mr. Laughlin's book is enjoyable, easy to read at the top level and loaded with astounding and profound comments on science at the deepest level. This book is loaded with profound discussions of the realities of science. As an aide to reading the book, we found the following pages to contain some profound statements; 6-8, 13, 14, 15, 17-21, 26,40, 43, 52-56, 67, 74-78, 85-91, 96-97, 105-114, 116, 118, 120-127, 130-131, 150-151, 154, 166, 168, 170, 171, 173, 200, 208. Essentially what the book brings to the forefront is that even the basic underlying assumptions of physics are open to serious question based on laboratory experiments of a very fundamental nature. Mr. Laughlin raises profound questions about reductionist thinking and is a believer in emergent properties (the whole is more than just the sum of the parts) as a key feature of reality.

More public input means better science. Quote resources include: "Scientifically Speaking" by Gaither and "Quotable Einstein" by Calaprice. Both books are highly recommended.

The truths and limits of science are being lost in the misuse of science by monetary, personal career and atheistic interests. We will endeavour to provide some light on the truths and limits of hard science fact as seen from the perspective of those perspective is from a belief in God.
