I often wish an Alien race would come and invade Earth. I think that is when we Earthlings would stop killing each other over religion and actually try working together as one.

Politics and Religion doesn't fix anything. Science does.

Just out of curiosity, what does science fix? How does science stop hate? Are you suggesting science creates a drug that cures all the problems of mankind and create peace?

History and reality tells me that the aim of science is primarily to create weapons to make war. What has taken up trillions upon trilions of American dollars over the past decades - not to menton the rest of the world - and still does? Not medical research. Not space exploration and research. Not feeding the world.

WAR. The science of war. Power. Milatary spending reigns supreme. Nuclear weapons, biological warfare, chemical weapons ... all been done,  now it is all about modern futuristic weapons. Pretty much every damn thing we use today came from military science, even in the hospitals.

Come to think of it you make science seem like a religion. Is that what all religions claim?  We can bring peace.



 

Now listen close, because i'm going to hit you with some knowledge.

  • Do you like TV, computers, microwave ovens, Internet, cell phones, medicine, video games, electricity to light your rooms, good health? etc etc.. That is only a fraction, and I can list more. You can thank science for all the things you take for granted.
  • Hate is not an acquired trait, it is learnt. Somebody has to be placing ideas in your mind and teaching it to you. It depends on your environment, how you see yourself, and how you're raised. Can you cure it? I think you can with psychiatric help.
  • Is science used in war? Of course, but it never started it.
  • What makes War? Politics, Religion, and lack of resources.

 

Can you name anything that politics and religion fixed without using science?

Now with that out of the way I hope I was able to broaden your mind.  By the way, science is not a religion, the word science means to know, and the best thing about it, is that is it right, until disproven.
