If the future development of quantum theory happens to turn in that direction, we could conceive the beginning of the universe in the form of a unique atom, the atomic weight of which is the total mass of the universe. Georges Lemaître

Why has not anyone seen that fossils alone gave birth to a theory about the formation of the earth, that without them, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the globe. Georges Cuvier

It is also a good rule not to put overmuch confidence in the observational results that are put forward until they are confirmed by theory. Arthur Eddington

The Newtonian theory can no longer be regarded as absolutely correct in all cases. Hendrik Lorentz
The Newtonian theory can no longer be regarded as absolutely correct in all cases.
Evolution is a theory, and it's a theory that you can test. We've tested evolution in many ways. You can't present good evidence that says evolution is not a fact. Bill Nye

A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street. David Hilbert

The major novelty of my theory was its claim that the most rapid evolutionary change does not occur in widespread, populous species, as claimed by Most geneticists, but in small founder populations. Ernst Mayr

Whether it is true or not that not more than twelve persons in all the world are able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. Hendrik Lorentz

Evolution as such is no longer a theory for a modern author. It is as much a fact as that the earth revolves around the sun. Ernst Mayr

The fact -- not theory -- that evolution has occurred and the Darwinian theory as to how it occurred have become so confused in popular opinion that the distinction must be stressed. George Gaylord Simpson
The fact -- not theory -- that evolution has occurred and the Darwinian theory as to how it occurred have become so confused in popular opinion that the distinction must be stressed.
From the outset Maxwell's theory excelled all others in elegance and in the abundance of the relations between the various phenomena which it included. Heinrich Hertz
