Science is the process of generating and testing hypothesis. It's a process of discovery not a process of knowledge. In this respect it's the very antithesis of faith as it assumes that truth will survive all tests and those may and should be questioned as often as possible while faith presumes that faith is sufficient, that questions only insult the belief. In science, truth does not need your faith and indeed your skepticism serves truth better than faith. There are no scientific facts, laws or knowledge; there's only the scientific process. Unfortunately, as the concept of all tests is an infinite quantity, science can never be complete and until it is, it is subject to bias, manipulation and misrepresentation.|||Science is the basis of everything we develop or understand. Without science we may be fooled by the things happening around us. In environment problems if we don't depend on science you will find that the most eloquent speaker can convince the whole world that nothing is wrong. Like the 'deniers' who are bent on slewing all the available data to prove that there is not environmental problem like green house effect or the ozone layer issues etc. Yes of course science also is stammering in this issue since the variables are so many, we are yet to conclusively say what is happening around us.
Science was the one which found hat there is a hole in the ozone layer, science is the one which found the reason for the whole, it is the one which is concerned about the increasing level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere etc.|||Scientific advances in alternative energy such as wind, solar, bio-fuels, etc. to make them cheaper, cost effective, and easy to maintain, will be a hard sell to the big oil companies, who probably already have the technology, but if enough people band together, it's possible to get the stuff sooner than later.|||Environmental problems such as oil spillages and nuclear meltdowns YES.
The whole 'global warming' issue, NO!
