will science become a benign word again... only when it adopts an ethical cautionary principle, for all the inventions it seeks to release into the world?
or will science always hide behind the skirts of busines & industry claiming..."it isnt us you should blame...its them - we only discovered and invented.....they are the ones who are applying our science and causing the damage".

I hear the idea of natural selection is science speaking poppycock about Jesus, too.
We should all be smitten (the best participle ever, btw)
Seriously, do you honestly believe the ability to gain knowledge is bad. Sure, a solid understanding of nuclear chemistry created the bomb, but it also led to HUGE leaps in medicine and chemical understanding.
I'm sure at one point in human history when our wars consisted of who could throw a bigger rock, and someone came along with a sharpened stick they were shunned for being too progressive in technology, too. Humans are naturally social creatures that always crave more than what we have. Leading to civilizations and technologies. Thus far there's nothing that seems like it hasn't been worth it.

No doubt if you had been around at the time you would have put a stop to the use of FIRE (and the invention of the wheel) on the grounds that Fire is extremely dangerous and the wheel not only eventually leads to traffic congestion but it destroys the grass ...
However I am comforted by the fact that, according to the Theory of Evolution, you should not survive long :-)

I know it is a cliche but I can't help but say that it's us who are to blame for misuse of science.

Take your arrogant and conceited attitude up the hall, there, Hell-Boy.
You're talkin' trash, philosophical BS.
