Is science useful or harmful to us?

Science has no claim to dictate morals; that is the job of human beings. Since science is value neutral, it can be used either for good or evil. Likewise, the lessons of science can be put to good use, or they can be ignored (at our peril).

That is a question which can be answered both ways. If you consider modern medicine, means of communication, other facilities etc. science has certainly been useful. If you look at the other side, ie, weapons, poisons,etc...we can argue otherwise. The only thing we can say for sure is, that science is only as good or harmful as the mentality of its wielder.

science is neither good nor bad. Its simply a tool Used to learn and understand things. How a person or group of people use it that determines good and evil. A Hammer, for example is a tool that is neither good nor bad. If someone uses a hammer to kill someone, its the person, not the tool, that is bad.

many of us beleive that it depands on our use thats true very often
but science is also sometime eveil or good regardless its use
like take an examples of automobiles despit we use it for our simple purposes not (destructive) its smoke is harmless
so science is a thorny rose
its good aswell as its bad too but use are fairly greater than its harms so we call it usefull and negligibly harmfull

Science is not an end, it is just means.It's usefulness or harmfulness depends on the user.

treatment for somewhat some genetic subject concerns, and ability to proceed to exist supernatural forces are the two clever contributions of technological awareness.. risky contribution is pollution... which isn't purely to human yet to all living organisms... mutation rather of genetic advancemant is 2d risky contribution

Sorcery is the misuse of science. Some of those people are going to have their second death in the Lake of Fire.

It can be both. If used in the right way, it can be extremely useful. If it is used the wrong way, then it can be very dangerous.
