Well of course scientists aren't man's best friend... they aren't dogs :)
But personally I think the idea that scientists are "man's greatest enemy" is ridiculous. I feel it is always useful to know more about the world around us; and scientists of whatever discipline have to support their ideas with evidence and submit them for review by their peers... Whereas politicians can get away with saying almost anything if the media and the public are willing to listen.
Thanks to science we have made so many medical and technological advances... I wouldn't say "science is our salvation" but I do believe we can gain a lot by using the scientific method.
NO it isn´t
If you are thinking in weapons, war technology, may be.
But if we think in medicine, informatic, better life level, is best.
look at the science work muslim scientists has done from 900-1300, its full of innovation related to the welfare of human being:
inventing geomatery
inventing aljebra
inventing light theory, glass, camera
inventing anatomy, surgery, instruments
inventing chemicles related to foods and human body
but as soon as the muslim empire fell the scientists started focusing on WMD. dinamat, missiles, warplanes, fancy tech bombs etc//////
its a nations overall religious tendency that reflect in its innovations.
Science for me is like a weapon, if you use safely and adequately, it can save your life, if contrary, could destroy you.
To be a scientist imply a huge responsibility with the humankind, these persons have in some way the power to make your life easier and happier or so much painful that being death is the best.
It is very difficult to qualify them as friends or enemies, that depends entirely on their ideas and the game are they playing. Nowadays there are many of them working in medicine and technics to save the life, however, also there are a lot working on how to build and atomic bomb cheaper and more effective. In conclusion, what you decide on this matter is correct.
