[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] UK Dark Wolf360 Ugh, there's really no point to trying to tell you that science is actually a good thing - and, in my opinion, the best thing that a small portion over time (and still today) of humanity has bothered to invest time, effort, brainpower and whole lives to. Without science - what's the point? Humanity has always had a natural curiosity to know and learn about the universe around us - science is the means to achieve such goals, there is so much we have learnt from science and yet so much more to learn which will enable us to move forward as a species and advance into the future as a better society. I, for one, am glad that I chose the path of being a scientist (physicist) - it brings much satisfactions knowing that I am solving the problems and answering the questions that our species has had for so long; and I know that my work will lead to the benefit of humanity in the future (both near and long-term). If you do not appreciate the work that I and millions of others of scientists do - then fine, just don't try to stop us from achieving the work which has helped so many and will continue to do so for as long as humanity exists and maintains curiosity.[/quote]What's the point? The point is to live and love each other as human beings. To form a community of peace. Ignorance is inevitable. There will always be more questions, one's that can't and won't be answered. How does finding the missing link house the homeless? How does finding water on Mars feed the hungry?
