“Virtually everything we have that enriches our standard of living and quality of life were developed by scientists and engineers.”
Amen brother!
“Sad to see so many on this thread hate them.”
Not sure it is actually productive scientists they hate. It seems since or self appointed spokesmen for science are attacking them.
None the less, it used to be science and technology were supported by conservatives and the left rode it down. Still is that case, eg technology causes global warming, pollution, all caused by capitalist corporate greed.
By this latter we hear here, even on this thread with the Monsanto bashing.
Some people seem to think that the goal of scientific research is to disprove the existance of God. This could not be further from the truth and in fact most scientists throughout history have been deeply religious.
