Question

Is science a boom or a curse?

Answer 1

Science is most certainly a very big boon, with an n, not an m, seriously, look it up, I can't believe no-one has noticed so far.

Science (and more generally, technological progress) may have it's downsides, but the upsides are staggering and massively outweigh any detrimental effects. As a race, there's nothing we cannot do, so long as public opinion wishes it to be done. Once enough scientists are thrown a problem, you can practically mark it down as solved.

This was proven with the Apollo program, and we're in the process of proving it again with a cure for cancer.

Answer 6

Do you think technology, forestry, medicinal sciences, and innovations are boom or a curse? No! Why? It is because it innovates something. If your computer has no printer, how can you print? Then you must ask inventor to invent printer then that's innovation. Also if there is no medicinal science, how can we treat sick people? Huh? If there's no good transportation, are you happy? Of Course No.

But the theory of evolution makes science a bit bad.

Answer 9

Do you think agriculture, medicine, houses, cars, air conditioning, and your computer are a curse?

If you don't like science you're quite welcome to move into the woods and live as a hunter-gatherer.

Science is a tool, and like any tool, it's up to the user as to what they do with it.  A hammer can build a house and it can bash a skull.
