I'm not sure if this is the right answer to your question but here goes.

Science is as important today as it has always been throughout history. Think on this question: Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world? It's still Mount Everest. Science has always been around, since it's laws have determined how the universe is. We just haven't been aware of it until more recently. Science comes from the Latin word Scientia, which basically means knowledge. In the most basic way of thinking, I guess you could say that science is really what was used to explain what the world and everything else was, and how it works. The laws of physics for example, are the scientific explanation for how natural law occurs, like gravity, planetary motion and so on.

So, going on that, science is, and probably always will be, important to the world and the universe as a whole, we just weren't aware how important until we gave it a collective name.

In terms of why it's important today, I guess that would be because by understanding why things happen the way they do, we can learn from it and better the ways we live as a result. An example is that when the centre of mass in an object exceeds the object's base, it tips over. If we didn't know that, we'd probably build things that could topple over very easily. However we do know that, and that's why we have buildings that are built to withstand earthquakes that are shaped like pyramids, big base, low centre of mass. Another point, by understanding more about the human body, we were able to increase our own life expectancies, and be able to survive/prevent ourselves being attacked by certain diseases.

Going on that, with science, we are able to understand more about the world we live in, and about ourselves to. So science is important in the sense that without it, we wouldn't have come as far as we have in such a short space of time.
