You're treating science as some sort of dogmatic ideal. You're wrong as someone can be on this. It's a tool used to understand the unknown and to ultimately used to create things from our imagination. It's just a means to an end. It's not a quasi-religion that offers answers to everything and can solve everything. It depends entirely on the goal that they had in mind when they asked whatever question and tried to research into it, what comes from it. 

As human civilization and technology has advanced so has our ability to create wondrous and convenient things but on the other side of that, our ability to damage and pollute our environment has also increased. 

Wrong again, science is the OBJECTIVE pursue of knowledge and truth, it's everything but dogmatic, dogmas cannot be argued with or disproved as those holding dogmas do not accept questioning. Science is the opposite of that.

Also science is not a tool as you say, it's the search for what can be methodologically demonstrated. Those who use what science has produced as tools to pursue their own agendas are NOT motivated by science, they are motivated by greed, religion, politics etc....

It's really hard to discuss this because you guys don't understand what science is, the fact you compare it to religion or think that science is in itself some kind of political force with some kind of hidden agenda makes it difficult to discuss the issue.

You're treated it as some kind of quasi-religion or dogmatic ideal. That's why I said that. By the way, you should look up what dogmatic means. I'm not saying it's a religion at all.  I hate when people try to make something seem that it's alot more than it really is. It's merely a means to an end. It's a tool or process used to research, invent and  create. It's always used with some goal in mind.
