Vince Ebert Quote: Science, Theology, and the Art of Checking

„For example, if I suspect that there might still be beer in the fridge and I check, then in principle I'm already doing a preliminary form of science. Big difference to theology. In theology, assumptions are not usually tested. So if I just say “there's beer in the fridge”, I'm a theologian. If I look, I'm a scientist. If I look, find nothing and still claim there's beer in it - then I'm an esoteric!“

"There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method; the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits.
