Lots of evil things have been done in the name of science, sadly lots of evil things were done in the name of religion too up until that point and science just took over. Paving the way for proof and observations instead of faithful guess work.
Organised religion = science? Not in terms of their content, but what they 'accomplish'.
However, arn't both just a big joke anyway? Most of what we're led to believe from either camp is almost untrue, they manipulate the sources of info and they change history to what suits them. Science is about control just as the same can be said about religion, but control of much more, control of matter, atoms, chemicals. Control of nature.
Science was created so that mankind could be in control of not just other man, but everything. The power of creation and destruction. Science brings godlike ability to those who shouldnt really deserve it.
Most of what we've done in science as been born of negative reasons, weapons, virii. etc Only a small portion of what we've developed in science is beneficial and useful to mankind and only after its malevolent functions were explored first. You know the old saying, every bit of technology we have had military development and usage first.
Therefore I propose science should be abolished and replaced with more appropriate terms/ or sub divisions.
Good/creation in one group
Neutral/manipulation in the second
Bad/destruction in the third
Maybe it wont do much on the outset. But if the inventor of the atom bomb, knew that his 'creation' would lead to destruction, instead of the catchall 'in the name of science' he might think about what he was doing.
Aw well, I'm probably ranting. But anything is better than what we have.
I'm prepared to throw science away and start over.
Any throughts?
