Quote by van Fraassen, Bas

"Science aims to give us theories that are empirically adequate, not necessarily true."

"The goal of science is not truth but empirical adequacy."

"We can accept a scientific theory without believing it is true."

"Empiricism need not require belief in unobservables."

"Science helps us understand the world."

"I've witnessed the birth of science, and it continues to amaze me."

"I'm something of a scientist myself."

"The fusion process is self-sustaining now!"
