I agree completely science likes to pretend like they know everything when in reality the know nothing.

That's the most absurd thing I've ever read on VGChartz.

Why what has science really done to benefit humanity in the past 50 years? Sure technology gets better but we would still be hear without it. Only thing science has really helped is making better medicine and even that is estremly limited due to the corrupt nature of the medical business they aren't worried about finding cures only filling their pockets with as much money as they can get. 

Well, you for one wouldn't be complaining here without science...


Talk about a weak argument.

There have been decent scientific advances but have these advance been beneficial for progress?  Sure there are numerous examples you can bring up that are good but you can also bring up numerous "advances" that have actually made the human race worse.  Take automatic transmissions for example.  Sure it might be nice not having to worry about shifting (especially in stop and go traffic) however this has led to a disconnect with the driving experience.  Now people eat, put on make up, text, surf the internet on their smartphone, etc while they drive.  Sure people would still attempt this if they drove stick (which I am guilty of some distractions while driving but lately I've been pretty good except using my phone for phone calls) but they would have a much more difficult time being a shitty driver (not paying attention to the road).  Also, take high fructose corn syrup which has probably helped double diabetes since its introduction.  There are good advances and there are bad "advances".
