Answer 2

I would say science, being one, but the arts are very important to humans also.

Post-modernism and general ignorance of the sciences abound among the arts, but they provide the creative expression so necessary to humans.

Answer 3

I think Science is necessary for the average human being to know about but my vote is for the Arts.

Answer 4

I would say science, since before you can get art you have to have technology.  Before music could be made, agriculture had to be developed to give people more free time from food gathering to develop these skills.  But art is valuable in that it gives us insight into the human condition and can be used to explain other ideas and philosophies.  Just because something is a work of fiction doesn't mean it has no truth.

Answer 5

Science; It gives us the leisure  time to create and enjoy art.

Answer 6

I say science
