I absolutely agree that science does much more good than harm to our world, but science has triggered the world's problem anyway. You can't deny that people use science as their equipments to reach their goal no matter how it is dangerous to environment or even to our lives. It is obvious that humans sometimes apply science to their wars, to kill their race. Science comes from human and so it sever all humans' purposes. These purposes may good or disastrous and those themselves make the meanings of science including causing problems

Science obviously creates more problems.George Bernard

shaw has said 'Science never solves a problem without creating 10 more'.

Commonwealth essay competition organizers have declared this as a topic.

Yes it has, science has brought knowledge that is threatening the whole of humanity and the universe at large, man may have the ability to design and create but will always lack the wisdom to better apply it, so if it wasn't for science, man would still have a 'planet'...science is so limited and often irreversible!

Computers have replaced a lot of the jobs that people have done in the past, decreasing employment rates. Machines are created by people and they are against people in these ways. People texting/talking on their cell phones while driving which is causing more & more accidents/injuries/deaths. Science is about an uncontrollable for some limits as we can say, the Bhopal Gas Tragedy which killed almost 25000 people.

Knowledge itself is completely harmless. It's use of that knowledge that causes the world's problems. It's how you manipulate and use science... not science itself that is fuckry.

Science has not caused the world's problems. All problems that seem to be created by science such as A-Bombs were actually caused by people's selfishness. If there was no selfishness there would be no problems caused by science as science would be used to benefit others.

To summarise, science itself is not the problem, it is the way people use it that causes problems. What causes people to use it to create problems? selfishness.

no!!!science is not causing all the world`s problem but those who are using science in a wrong way or i would better say in a wrong manner they are causing world`s problem.....for e.g. science has given us the formula for making bombs and weapons for our defence and safety but this formula is sometimes stolen by some people and transported to the terrorists and mafias and all that to use it in a wrong way .....

Side: No!

Science, for the purpose of this debate, could be analogized to a hypodermic needle. You can either fill it with figurative medicine to solve the problems of the patient/world, or it could be filled with drugs, giving cool and easy lives, but causing problems.

So the question is, how do we use the needle?

No, science solves problems in the world and very rarely causes it. Religion on the other hand does.

Side: No!

Science improves the quality of live for everyone, so, Science did not cause any of the world's problems.

Side: No!
