The most dangerous human invention...Drum roll

Another one of your riddles to wade through.

No.

Notice the ellipse starts without a space after the L?

You might think you are are legend in your own mind but E.B White summarises your attitude to science perfectly.

“I don’t understand it, and I don’t like what I don’t understand.”

As does Einstein:

One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike —

Or, as I'm fond of saying: "myopic."

Comparing oneself to Einstein now.
What you have illustrated is a lack of basic comprehension skills as Einstein does not express a dislike of science or question its morality like you do.

Given science is beyond your level of comprehension and therefore is perceived as a threat, you are in no position to judge science as being myopic.

I don't think one has to be a Rhodes scholar to know that science is myopic.

I see its myopia in most every post here in CE & PLS.

When all else fails pull out this stock response which is admitting your ignorance while at the same time boasting you know enough about science to show it is myopic.
It is yet another example of an incoherent, illogical and contradictory post.

Your comments on science are based on pure ignorance and bigotry.
Here is an example of your latest tirade which is totally absurd.

Science will simply change a word in the Bible to suit its agenda, and move on forward from there.
An excellent example is changing "child in the womb" to "fetus" in order to amoralize what God considers sacred.

So now scientists are responsible for changing the language.
The word "fetus" is a Latin word introduced into Middle English in the late 1300s.
The scientific revolution in Western Europe began 150 years later and there were no scientists in the late 1300s; Western Europe was getting its ideas from Islamic polymaths who rediscovered Greek philosophy and mathematics.
It shows your disgraceful attitude in making up nonsense in order to discredit science at any cost.

Can you read a sign a mile down the road, even with binoculars?

How far can science see, even with their technology?

So now you have to rely on analogies as a diversion tactic.
Playing your game you are the blind person; blinded by your own ignorance and bigotry who can't see the binoculars let alone use them and therefore has no appreciation of what science can offer such as improving the quality of one's life.

Have a good day, sir.

Since posters have nominated their most dangerous inventions here is my candidate, the Ctrl-Alt-Del wand.

​

The "danger" it may provide confirmation the human race is becoming progressively dumber.

Or maybe this where it is a long distance from the source to its intended target.

 

[grasping the after wind]

Most dangerous human invention- government.

 

[AV1611VET]

That picture is disgusting.

The roll should hang the other way around!

 

[Yaaten]

The most dangerous human invention? Religion.

Nope, atheism. In terms of sheer scale and numbers, the atheistic communist countries of the world have been responsible for more deaths than anything else.
