Look around. What's good? Is disease wiped out?
No, but disease, especially infectious disease, has in fact gotten a whole lot better. Parents no longer routinely bury three, four, or more of their children before age 10, at least not in places where they've been able to apply knowledge gained through science. You don't think that's an improvement?

Nothing is getting better. You can't stop disease and death nor can we stop the hate that people have for each other

People hate each other as well. It's not getting better. Nothing is getting better or will get better.
You post doesn’t even make any sense, how is science getting worse because disease has not been wiped out?

Evidently you are unaware the science is getting better as it has effectively wiped out many diseases such as smallpox and polio and it is only through the stupidity of individuals, namely the anti-vaxxers where smallpox has reappeared in the population.

Science is getting worse resulting in people hating each other?
Now I’ve heard everything.

What is instructive about your post it is an example of willful ignorance as distinct from ignorance of not knowing.
You were asked to support your statement of science getting worse with facts, instead we get illogical and irrational nonsense which is opinion based and not factual.

The world is getting worse and science is a bomb they play with.

Self correction? It's getting worse not better.
Would you expand on that? As per my original request it would help if you would offer an example of where Science has been foolish. Without that example I am likely to remain befuddled with what you have in mind.

Still doesn't support your statement of science getting worse.

Let's looks at facts rather than opinions.

Average-U.S.-Life-Expectancy-1900-2020.png

The dip at 1918 was the due to the flu pandemic and the drop starting from 2020 was due to COVID.
Since you brought up disease which impacts on life expectancy explain how the increase in life expectancy is consistent with science getting worse.

Perhaps you did, but my response was to this post of yours and that is what prompted my request you give an example of Science being foolish.
Science can be quite foolish at times. Religion as well.
My request for an example stands, unless it is your intent to retract the statement.

The world of getting worse. Hate and debate. It's all the world knows

Parents who abort their own children can live longer thanks to science. I see nothing to boast in that. Gang violence will never get better nor greed, envy, lust or contention.

I see liberals talk about how bad society is when it comes to banning guns but everything is just fine otherwise. They contradict themselves

That's not an example. I'm sorry you have no apparent interest in a discussion, but prefer to parrot your unsupported and evidentially contradicted belief. I'm sorry if my request for evidence and tightness of meaning has discomfitted you. I'll try not to disturb your biases in future.

I have no interest in argument. I tried answering

Science is more fun when you blow things up.

But your impression of science is highly skewed. Changing things to correct incomplete or erroneous conclusions IS the greatest strength of science.

I don't try to Lord over you like politicians do. I love you more than they do.
I'm not looking for your love or theirs. What I would like is for you to stop slandering science.
