Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

There is something for which Newton or better to say not Newton alone, but modern science in general can still be made responsible: it is splitting of our world in two. I have been saying that modern science broke down the barriers that separated the heavens and the earth, and that it united and unified the universe. And that is true. But, as I have said, too, it did this by substituting for our world of quality and sense perception, the world in which we live, and love, and die, another world the world of quantity, or reified geometry, a world in which, through there is place for everything, there is no place for man. Thus the world of science the real world became estranged and utterly divorced from the world of life, which science has been unable to explain not even to explain away by calling it "subjective".
True, these worlds are everyday and even more and more connected by praxis. Yet for theory they are divided by an abyss.
Two worlds: this means two truths. Or no truth at all.
This is the tragedy of the modern mind which "solved the riddle of the universe," but only to replace it by another riddle: the riddle of itself.Alexandre Koyre
But even as they were brought closer together by the details of daily life, she was separated from him by a growing sense of inward detachment. Charles' conversation was flat as a sidewalk, a place of passage for the ideas of everyman; they wore drab everyday clothes, and they inspired neither laughter nor dreams.
Gustave Flaubert
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book.Elvis Costello
I miss those days when people believed in science and common sense as in the Fifties and Sixties. Now fundamentalism and contempt for science seems to be spreading. I believe that religion should be totally separated from the state. Thats not the way it is today, not even in Sweden. For hundreds of years we have struggled to achieve a secular society, and now we seem to be going backwards.
Bjorn Ulvaeus
All of science is nothing more than the refinement of everyday thinking.
