Honestly, the question is asinine at best.

Science is either understood to be a body of knowledge or a process of abductive inference via methodological naturalism.

Neither of these definitions would comport to intrinsic detriment to mankind.

Let's move forward to religion then...

Well, worst case scenario is that one radical religion takes over the entire world. That's a threat to humanity in the sense that many would die opposing such a regime but as far as extinction is concerned it's about as benign as influenza.

Better question:

Why do we have so many intelligent people believing in bronze age fairy tales in 2018 and how can we overcome this plague of profound naiveté?

but science produces technology right? and technology has been harmful to the planet and people, that was my point

I think you'd be hard-pressed to defend the claim that technology is intrinsically harmful to the planet and people, Luddite. There is a resounding distinction between "Technology can be used for malevolence" and "Technology is malevolent". You seem to have oddly contorted your mind into harboring the misapprehension that these claims are identical, which is confounding to say the least.
