Have you had a check up lately with an MRI, x-ray, blood pressure monitor, thermometer, etc!. thanks to science these were there for you!.

Did you post this on line using a computer that is hooked up to a line carrying the signal and did your phone just ring!? Hello, science calling!

A better and more difficult question to answer might be , "Can you find one area of your life that science or scientific knowledge has not touched in one way or another!?" Unless your a hermit in a cave in a third world country who was born in the cave and have never left, it will be hard to do and even then you probably have been touched!.

Much as it is to be regretted, national egotism has been essential to social survival!. The chosen people doctrine has been a prime factor in tribal welding and nation building right on down to modern times!. But no state can attain ideal levels of functioning until every form of intolerance is mastered; it is everlastingly inimical to human progress!. And intolerance is best combated by the co-ordination of science, commerce, play, and religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
