"The Scientist is free to ask any question, to doubt any Assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors"

        Science (and scientists) has potential, and have caused the downfall of many beliefs. “The truths which God revealed have been overthrown by the truths which man has discovered.” Said by Lemuel K Washburn in 1911. Also Robert Oppenheimer, “There is no place for dogma in science.” Science is proved to show that it has no time for belief, but it does facts. As P.W Atkins explains in 1995 “Someone with a fresh mind, one not conditioned by upbringing and environment, would doubtless look at science and the powerful reductionism that it inspires as overwhelmingly the better mode of understanding the world, and would doubtless scorn religion as sentimental wishful thinking”. Science ‘strips away’ the ‘unnecessary nonsense’ of religion and is left with the only simple answers left.

        Science (and scientists) have potential, and do have a certain limit to stay within science. An example is a warning from Mary Shelley in ‘Frankenstein’. She teaches us not to play God. The man had good intentions to create a perfect human being, but his arrogance of blaspheming against god at his own creations, ended up in him creating a monster. Over-reachers, like Frankenstein, take the liberty to play God or do something similarly unhelpful. Prometheus, stole the gift of fire from the Greek gods and gave it to man.

        Science (and scientists) have potential, and has used it. I mean, we only remember the bad things, but don’t forget the good things that they have created they don’t always end in disaster. We nowadays take it all for granted. If it weren’t for the ‘mad’ men in their white lab coats, we wouldn’t be able to watch T.V. or commute to work in our cars, have lights at night and electricity. Use life to the greatest extent, use the electricity that comes through our houses, and look forward towards modern and unknown discoveries yet to come. Don’t waste time or anything else. “Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of” Benjamin Franklin making his point that time is precious.

As scientific advances improve, such as at the moment, we can ‘pick ‘n mix’ babies, GM crops, plastic surgery, breast implants, abortion and many many other developments, means that it’s still advancing in the twenty first century, and the debate has been going for many years, will keep being an agenda for many more. As Archimedes in 215 BC said… “Eureka”!
