Young Edis, Why Intelligent Design …, op. cit., s. 5: “the laws of thermodynamics do
not preclude self-organization, provided that there is energy flow through the system.
In addition to energy flow (an open system), self-organization requires only a
collection of suitable components such as atoms or molecules, cells, organisms (for
example, an insect in an insect society), and even the stellar components of galaxies,
which selforganize through gravitational energy into giant rotating spirals.”

Larry Laudan, The demise of the demarcation problems, 1983, s. 111-112: “Whatever
the specific strengths and deficiencies of the numerous well-known efforts at
demarcation […], it is probably fair to say that there is no demarcation line between
science and non-science, or between science and pseudoscience, which would win
assent from a majority of philosophers. Nor is there one which should win acceptance
from philosophers or anyone else; but more of that below.”

„ I tak zasada autonomii nauki, wraz z jej
uszczegółowieniem w postaci zasady unikania konkordyzmów, mówi coś o strategii,
jaką Bóg stosuje wobec Wszechświata: woli On pozostawać we Wszechświecie
niejako incognito, ukryty w metafizycznych podstawach istnienia, niż zostawiać
jakieś nadzwyczajne ślady swojej działalności. Właśnie dzięki temu nauka jest tym,
czym jest – wyzwaniem rzuconym światu, by wyjaśniać świat samym światem.”
