That's no different than saying scientists built the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan.   The science did not tell them to make a bomb and use it. 

Science does not dictate action. 
Scripture dictates action.

That is the inherent difference.  While it ultimately comes down to the choice of action by people, one explicitly tells you to perform violence.  The other does not because their does not exist a doctrine to begin with.

fair enough but regardless that doesn't change the fact that science presents us with tools that have a great capacity for harm, the topic isn't about science or religion inherently motivating action but about which is the greater threat

if i lay a gun and a knife on a table neither has inherently the ability to motivate action but we could argue that a gun is more capable of causing harm right?

It can provide tools that can have great capasity for harm, but also tools that have great capasity for good.

Which one causes more harm depends on the gun and a knife and how they are used.
