Benefits of science

Answer 1

Before answering your question, a little detour is required about what is really science:

Science is inductive reasoning.

To explain what inductive reasoning is, I will use an example: All trees loose their leaves at the end of autumn.

How did we come to this conclusion? We observed hundreds of trees at the end of autumn and all lost their leaves. Therefore, because we saw these hundreds trees lose their leaves we assume that all trees loose their leaves.

This inductive reasoning is incorrect because we know that some trees do not loose their leaves [Also known as evergreen].

But the point is:

1> Someone had an idea

2> It was not perfect but he was not afraid to run with it

3> It turned out that the hypothesis [scientific guess] was partially correct.

4> From this other scientists further perfected this theory giving us an understanding of this phenomenon

5> It made us wonder wheter all trees are evergreen

Conclusion about inductive reasoning

Many times what we think is roughly correct, but not entirely.

The whole point of science is to give an understanding of the world and the universe: How it works, what rules apply, and what are exceptions.

Now you could ask: Why this all was necessary to write down?

To answer the rethorical question: So you could understand that science is not like a lightbulb that you just turn on and voila! Everything is perfect! Its a process which is infinite.

Now that you understand what science is I possibly can give you a clue to a benefit of science by making a paralell to the evolution of science.

Science requires critical thinking. This can be linked to the evolution of our brain.

However there is a critical question.

Did we get smarter because we started to think critically, or did we start to think critically because we get smarter?

In both ways we can conclude science has contributed a lot to our mental cognitive thinking AKA Thinking outside the box.

I could endlessly enlist the benefit of science in various areas, such as in medicine it brought us prolonged life, and at the same time new diseases. In Biology we understand now most of the human physiology and the function of many structures.

This list could go on endlessly and it would prove one thing.

Science is an evolution.

Humans with the help of science artificially speeded up their own evolution.

That is the major benefit of science. If you think about all the inventions they can be brought back to three things: Power, Knowledge and Evolution.

Power: There were always those who wanted power and the evolution of science made that possible. Weapons, H-bomb, etc... all goes here

Knowledge: We are a curious race. We always wished to understand how things work. Why? The more you know about something the more you feel in control.

Human physiology, astronomy etc...

Evolution: We got smarter, Things needed to be better. Science came along.

As i have said before: You can go on the internet and find all these wonderful ideas about what is the benefit of science. The list is endless.

There is one key benefit of science however: evolution

Answer 2

science has proven many unexplained things. it helps us to know more about everything. but science comes out on its own duty and want to study all the unexplained things. science must know their own place. if things can be easily explained by science, then go for it. but in our world, not all can be explain by science. there are so many things that people don't have to deal with it. science helps us very very much. but always remember that science are often for technology and not for exploring other world. but if it is for the benefit of all, including the people and all the experimental things, go! but if not, DON'T. some other unexplained things should remain a secret and let them. they will not harm people if you do not harm them. science should now their right purpose . cause only god knows all. no one can ever tell those things except god. respect others. remember, god create us all. and we should know how to respect them.

that's only my opinion about science......................
