I'm talking about science on the leading edge, where it's not clear which way things are going be cause we don't know, and I'm dealing with areas which we don't know about.

Over the course of fifteen years of research on plant development, I came to the conclusion that for understanding the development of plants, their morphogenesis, genes and gene products are not enough.

Because a truly skeptical position would be a very uncertain one.

For more than 200 years, materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs.

I think that the 'laws of nature' are also prone to evolve; I think they are more like habits than laws.

So there’s a kind of resurgence of the sense of freedom and spontaneity in nature.
