Interesting question. We have a lot of technology that is destructive and a lot that we owe to science in terms of modern medicine and other positive discoveries, implementations. It wasn't a scientist who decided to drop the bomb. It was a president and his cabinet who made this decision probably with very little understanding of what this bomb could actually do. Human ignorance and apathy is the reason why technological/scientific discoveries go wrong.

Why would you have anything to do with Christianity after the Crusades?
See how lame that question was? I didnt drop the bomb on Hiroshima. But you are using SCIENCE to write on the Net.

This is just the ultimate example of the fact that science and technology have advanced way beyond ANY real advances in the humanities.
Down thro history mans scientific developments have been used for the destruction of his fellow man.
Which only goes to prove that while we do not lack advances in understanding of the physical sciences have not advanced in our understanding of ourselves and therefore do not benefit from it.
Mans understanding of man is still in the Dark Ages.

Treatments and vaccinations for many diseases, invention of devices that save time and give us more leisure, increase of crop yields to the point that famine should be a thing of the past (the fact that it's still around is a political issue), clean energy, the fact that life expectancy has doubled in the last hundred years, ...
Need I go on?

Because the idea of immediate and complete distruction brings the necessity of knowledge of the self and humanity that much more into stark contrast. At no other time in our history has it been as important as RIGHT NOW to have knowledge, and to have the wisdom to use it correctly.

how is that the fault of science. Humans did these things not science. Science also gave us a cure for polio.

So the fact that humans can use technology in ways you don't like makes the technology bad? You could make the same argument for spears.

I have nothing to do with atomic science. I take full advantage of other branches though.
