    Science is a tool. It can be condemned, but only if its users can.

    We can do good things, we can do stupid things.

    Option #4


    I know with my love to science that it helps us to survive, without it... well... science is techonlogy... And technology can be high-technology, so depending on what day it is... We would all be dead...

    why you ask?

    1. Science develops technology, but high tech in the ages can be simple today, so we could be pretty much have nothing more then hands... No rocks for weapons... No nothing...

    2. Science is math and time... without it... We wouldn't know any of this...

    3. Science is also what we call "Knowledge" without it... We might of thought that a bright light in the sky was a God when actually... It was a Meteoroid hitting earth at your face.

    4. We wouldn't know how to entertain ourselves... Or educate ourselves...



    There are many ways science is important...
    But i am confident that Science can save us...
    But by chance may Destroy us...

    You see with more discoveries mean more chances of having another war, one that may end the human civilization forever...

    what?

    And yes we are all science lol

    because remember our bodies themselves are mysterious... And if another race out there is studying us or we will study them then they would be probably studying us.

    whats latter?

    But nah. Science is a... Well it's too big to break down, really, but if you had to, it would be a series of natural reactions.

    A more effective question would be: Human ability of choice and intellect, curse or blessing.

    Same answer will always pop up, it depends on the individual.

    Science can heal, science can kill. Science can expand the mind, science can limit the mind.

    It is all a part of duality, polarity. Rights and wrongs, negatives and positives.

    The answer is not the lesser or the greater, which everyone strives for. The answer is to find that balance. To draw from negative and positive to enter that new plane of Human intellect.

    I'll just quote my self from elsewhere:

    hit wrong option, ment to press "science is a tool, it cannot be condemned, only its users can", NOT "science did more right then wrong", oh well.

    Anyway, everything we use is based off of Science. The food you eat, clothes you wear, ...wars you hate, are all based off things discoverd using Science. Science is the main way that humanity can move forward at this point.

    Is this thread some kinda joke lenga? I think everyone understands what science is (save a few rofl.) I swear, if people are honestly choosing any other option there apart from " "science is a tool, it cannot be condemned, only its users can", then they are darn right ignorant... Suppose science did more right than wrong makes sense aswell tho.. any but those 2 then you're ignorant!

    But no! Please explain why the last thread was biased on my side.
