There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method; the other, the scholastic.

But take the theory of gravitation; it has not been changed in four hundred years. — Charles Proteus Steinmetz
The scientific method of examining facts is not peculiar to one class of phenomena and to one class of workers; it is applicable to social as well as to physical problems, and we must carefully guard ourselves against supposing that the scientific frame of mind is a peculiarity of the professional scientist. — Karl Pearson
When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact...that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance; We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters. — Martin Luther King, Jr.

They study the subject and forget everything, their own identity and everything, and then the great fact comes like a flash. — Swami Vivekananda
The view is often defended that sciences should be built up on clear and sharply defined basal concepts. In actual fact no science, not even the most exact, begins with such definitions.
