Well gee, given that in the Middle Ages, life expectancy was roughly 30 years, I'm gonna go ahead and conclude that science has been pretty darn good to us.
No... MrItty is totally right. Plus it helps us learn more about the Earth and why things are the way they are. Religion is make up by humans, but science is reality.It's made us smarter.
Science" is the Greek word for knowledge. We are warned, "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called" (1 Timothy 6:20). That is, beware of things humans call "knowledge" but isn't; it's actually propaganda.
There are the facts and there is what human beings do with those facts. Since all humans lie at one point or another, we can see that the problem is not knowledge; it's humans abusing that knowledge and then mislabeling other malarkey as "knowledge" for purposes of self-promotion and continued power. One (or many) example was here in California some years ago, our own secretary of education Honig declared "evolution is a fact."
He didn't define WHICH evolution he meant, micro-evolution (which happens on rare occasion) or macroevolution (which has never been observed and which impossible genetically). We all know he was not defining terms on purpose because he meant to say that microevolution we observe means that the macroevolution we do not observe is yet possible. No it's not.
That was a mere claim, but as one in power, he then used that claim to bully others--augment his power. He could have simply told the truth, but for some reason, he didn't think that was a good idea for a politician.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
