The path of science leads to killing?

I have been watching some of these YouTube vids on his new movie and this comment "The path of science leads to killing" just killed me. 😆

YouTube video

The path of ignorance leads to stupidity. 😉

What if:

Iran attacked Saudi Arabia, N Korea attacked S Korea and Japan, and China attacked Taiwan... All at the same time?

ummmm... well, at least we aren't using ridiculous hyperbole.

Honestly, it two fold if you include weapons... I think that may be what he means.

I'm trying LOL

War and killing is about making money.

they both are, and both can be viewed as businesses. what makes better cash than sex, religion and war?

Religion actually has the right way of going about it though. They don't pay taxes. It's quite the money-making racket if done well. Course, some are stupid about it and live ascetic lifestyles. Points for style, I suppose, but if I was less altruistic I'd probably become a TV evangelist or something and live for free off of the gullible.

Scientists have been known to convince entire governments to give them billions of dollars so they can do experiments that have a limited chance of telling them anything . . .

Or what?

Oh, right . . . the nukes. See! Power corrupts. Scientists make weapons. Weapons can give power. Thus all scientists are evil.

Then when it doesn't the scientists never get funding again, and that money was for research, not themselves. So they settle down and get a university teaching job so that they don't starve. And the theocrats cut funding to even the stuff that gives results...so that million dollar scientific doo-dads start to seem outrageous rather than a natural extension of our advanced scientific culture, and the media paints them in a negative light and the people who voted for the theocrats yell about how we're spending tax money (which didn't come from religions, mind you).

😊

...I'd much rather be religious.

No one would be in that economic boat if silver tongued scientists hadn't talked governments into pumping billions of dollars into research that needed circular logic just to be rationalized.

I'd rather be capable of turning invisible so I could spy on highschool girls in the locker rooms. But we can't all get what we want (thanks to science taking all the money).

...nah, that's the military budget taking all the money. Science is usually privately funded.

In any case, if anyone is interested in formal debunking and proactive responses to Stein's ludicrous film, the Sketipcs society has devoted a number of podcasts, articles, and space in their latest issue to addressing it. It includes a letter from Richard Dawkins to a man who was influenced by the movie and channeled the anger in inspired within him into a letter to Michael Shermer (editor of Skeptic).

There's some that can be read for free without purchasing the recent issue (which actually focuses on climate studies more so than Stein or religion).

So, before science was mainstream and religion was one of the major principles that governed peoples lives, there wasn't corruption, weapons or war?

...turn on the sarcasm meter Rob...
