Science is a two-edged sword, and we are more and more feeling the destructive edge.
Obviously a gross misrepresentation. Of course, science has given us things like nuclear weapons and pollution. But, on balance, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks:
- medicines that
dramatically slash rates of early death;
-
huge reduction in need for people to perform drudge work;
-
incredible advance in access to information and learning;
- general increase in leisure time;
- almost instantaneous communications worldwide;
- significant improvements in the ability to travel on global scales.
- etc., etc. , etc.
There is no denying (except, sadly by many here) that science has brought us global warming. But if the deniers would remove their heads from the sand, perhaps science can save us from this real threat.
I politely suggest you have a narrative to defend, and are not evaluating the facts that are right in front of us.
500 years ago, huge percentages of people spent significant portions of their lives enduring dental pain. Do you want to go back to that?
