Mehmet Oz Quotes

The typical person has no trouble believing without knowing. What people need to realize is simply that you do not need to believe to know.

I’m a skeptic not because I do not want to believe, but because I want to know. How can we tell the difference between what we would like to be true and what is actually true? The answer is science.

Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, 'Yes, gravity is real! I will have faith!'

Science begets knowledge; opinion, ignorance.

Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.

Science adjusts its views based on what's observed Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

No amount of belief makes something a fact.

Hope is easy; knowledge is hard. Science is the one domain in which we human beings make a truly heroic effort to counter our innate biases and wishful thinking.

Science is not wisdom.

What is called "objectivity," scientific for instance (in which I firmly believe, in a given situation) imposes itself only within a context which is extremely vast, old, firmly established, or rooted in a network of conventions ... and yet which still remains a context.

Faith does not offer a strong link between our beliefs and actual states of the world.

Science built the Academy, superstition the Inquisition.

If faith is what you have to go on, if faith is the link between your beliefs and the world at large, your beliefs are very likely to be wrong. Beliefs can be right or wrong. If you believe you can fly, that belief is only true if indeed you can fly. Somebody who thinks he can fly, and is wrong about it, will eventually discover there's a problem with his view of the world.

I don't want to believe. I want to know.

Science is the most reliable guide in life.

Every science in a certain degree starts from faith, and, on the contrary, faith, which does not lead to science, is mistaken faith or superstition, but real, genuine faith it is not.
