Uh, no. If Sci-fi were science instead of fiction we’d all be living in Jetson stilt houses and using flying cars.

Agreed.

I love sci-fi and have read plenty of it.

Most was written with an assumption of morality in the human nature. They didn’t foresee the lack of it and the abuses of technology that could occur without a solid, moral base.

Besides, a better analogy would be the discovery and use by cavemen of fire and us of nuclear energy.

And look how responsible we are with nuclear energy.
