Answer 1

Science is an epistemology, a successful theory of knowledge. If you think that knowledge causes harm, try ignorance.



The more we know, the more we are able to direct our own destiny.

Science does not create harm, it creates knowledge. It is misapplication of knowledge that causes harm.

The understanding of how nature works yields efficiencies in further discovery, which leads to a higher quality of life.

They may say that knowledge is power, and power corrupts. Counter with power MAY corrupt, it is a failure of governance that allows power to corrupt.

Answer 2

Obviously science can bring us goodness than harmness.

      One evidence is that  present people live longer than those in ancient times due to the development of medecine science.   People will not die because of lack of curing methods . And the human being may live longer in the future thanks to the

science . With out medicine , people may die because of sickness  ,  In history , there was breakout of plague and large number of people die without  curing.

       Another reason is that science can make life more comfortabler and more convenient for us.  Numerious facts can support my standpoint.   When the sun sets down,the electricity provide us light ,we neednt  make a fire. By cars we can  transpot  great number  of  cargos quickly  now  which may cost long time before.  

      Some people may argue that   world war 2   killed so many lives. And some big weapons  can kill numerous people quickly . They ascribe the fault to the science. I will reply that  the science itself is innocent ,but different people use it for different aims. Just a small  number of ambitious man wanna use it to raven the world , this should be  the fault the  quality of the people ,not the science.

Answer 3

Yes, i think science brings more harm than good. The onset of rapid genetic viral mutations brings disaster caused by scientific experiments.
