   The Dark Side of Science

   The technology spawned by science grows ever more   
   powerful, and does so at an ever-faster rate. Where is it   
   taking us?   
      
   Science has bestowed enormous benefits on mankind. But it   
   has a dark side as well. It gives us miracle medicines,   
   but also, germ warfare. It bestows upon us nuclear power,   
   and nuclear bombs. Its power can be used to benefit the   
   environment or to destroy it.   
      
   But there is another aspect of science, one that has   
   nothing to do with technology. It has to do with shaping   
   our worldview. In doing so, it influences how we   
   structure our society, our laws, and our moral codes.   
      
   What is most remarkable about science is not its   
   gadgetry, but rather, what it tells us about ourselves,   
   who we are, what is our purpose and destiny. Do we have   
   inherent value? Or are we just another species of animal?   
      
   In other words, there is a powerful philosophy that   
   underpins science. It affects us all.   
      
   Science is based on the premise that the universe has   
   rules, unbreakable laws that do not depend on our   
   opinion, but which are revealed to us by observation and   
   reason. As far as we can tell, the universe is orderly;   
   it has structure and hierarchy. Is that all just   
   meaningless coincidence?
