Science is a wonderful tool, that has made it possible to communicate in real time with anyone anywhere on the planet. We can sit in our homes and watch events as they occur, find information on any subject, entertain ourselves with videos, games, and technology. We can cure disease, understand and prepare for cataclysmic natural events, construct sky scraper cities, feed the billions of people on Earth, and care for Earth's diverse environments. But Science is not an omnipotent being capable of all things. It is a limited tool used to gain knowledge of nature, discover, and develop adaptations for human existence. It can't tell us which songs are pleasing or which scenery is beautiful. It doesn't tell us to use discoveries to win wars or to go where no human has gone before, we decide how to use it. It doesn't tell us how to apply justice or what is good or bad about human conduct. It doesn't tell us what to do with regards to faith or spirituality. It doesn't favor conservative or liberal ideologies. We care, it doesn't.
