Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. - Thomas Edison
Ironically it was the (pseudo) science propounded by Charles Darwin that led Japanese leaders to envision themselves as the race superior to Chinese, whom they bayoneted by the hundreds of thousands, Filipinos, whom they bayoneted by the thousands, Koreans, whom they kept as "comfort women" by the thousands, and anyone else who dared to oppose them. After all, the title of Darwin's book was On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.
Like the Japanese, the Nazis thought themselves the favored race, hence the term "Aryan Supremacy."
I am unable to post the photograph of the science of destruction visited upon Hiroshima was downloaded at random from the internet. How ironic that this photograph is numbered "731," which was the designation of a Japanese Unit ordered to utilize science to find the most efficient ways of killing undesirables, by the thousands.
Unit 731 731部隊
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731Operation Downfall, the planned allied invasion of Japan, was estimated to cost 1,000,000 American casualties and 10,000,000 Japanese casualties due to the fanatical, suicidal resistance of the Japanese, as evidenced across the Pacific and particularly at Okinawa. Largely for this reason, President Truman authorized the use of nuclear bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which saved millions of lives.

It goes without saying, (Peter) Atkins adds, that "there is no reason to suppose that science cannot deal with every aspect of existence." Science is, after all, "the apotheosis of the intellect and the consummation of the Renaissance." - The Devil's Delusion - Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions by David Berlinski, page 7
These comical declarations may be abbreviated by observing that Atkins is persuaded that not only is science a very good thing, but no other thing is good at all. (Ibid)
Hitler's Germany was a technologically sophisticated secular society, and Nazism itself, as party propagandists never tired of stressing, was "motivated by an ethic that prided itself in being scientific." (From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany) - page 27
The psychologist Steven Pinker has thus introduced into the discussion the remarkable claim that "something in modernity and its cultural institutions has made us nobler. On the scale of decades, comprehensive data again paint a shockingly happy picture.” - Page 21
A Shockingly Happy Picture by Excess Deaths
First World War 15 million
Soviet Union, Stalin's Regime 20 million
Second World War 55 million
People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong 40 million
Congo Free State 8 million
Russian Civil War 9 million
Turkish massacres of Armenians 1.5 million
Kinshasa, Congo 3.8 million
Second Indochina War 3.5 million
Korean War 2.8 million
Cambodia, Khmer Rouge 1.65 million - Page 22
[Two more pages of death statistics follow, painting the "shockingly happy picture"]
This is not to say that science is bad, but rather that like intelligence, it is a force that can be used for good or evil. Unfortunately the claim is made endlessly by the godless Left, the counterpart to the "religious right" that is so frequently attacked, that science is their (godless Left's) exclusive domain, and it is exclusively good. Almost every aspect of their claim is a lie.
Hitler's scientists and doctors enthusiastically pursued the synthesis and manufacture of Zyklon B poison gas and horrific experiments on innocent civilians much the same as the Japanese did.
"We can survive without science, but we cannot survive without religion." - Vox Day

Additional Abuses in the Name of "Science"
Sacrificing Humans for Birds
Advanced warfare through science is assuredly not the only misuse of science. It's also misused for a variety of other reasons. Under the pretense of protecting birds, DDT was banned worldwide, resulting in millions of deaths, primarily in Africa, from malaria. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson misled and deceived but it made godless leftists feel good and wasn't that special. How many more will suffer and die as the costs of climate change are borne disproportionately by those in desperate need of the essentials of life.
Democrats want to ban fossil fuels for the good of humanity. Sound familiar?

Murdering Babies for Economic Convenience Misnamed "Choice"
Today, medical science is responsible for killing another million innocent, unborn babies annually in America, a disproportionate number of them black (6 times the ratio of whites). This evil was initiated by Margaret Sanger under the Darwinian pretense of improving the human race by ridding America of blacks. This is the lie of "choice" when the father has no "choice" as to whether he will never see his own child, or pay child support for eighteen years. The four grandparents, who may be willing and able to raise their grandchild, have no "choice." My own niece had to adopt a child from Russia because none are available here in the United States due to the savagery of the godless Left. My dear friend's grandson, born to a drug-addicted mother, was adopted by a beautiful and loving couple 3,000 miles away, who were thrilled finally to find a baby to have and hold and love, such is the scarcity of babies in America given up for adoption, due to abortions.

Researching Anything, Everything, and Nothing
How many billions of dollars are squandered worldwide for scientific research of no value beyond "We want the money and we're scientists!" Anyone questioning anything these folks in white coats wish to fund, with YOUR money, is subjected to vitriolic calumny.
Crazy Research the U.S. Government is Funding
How long can a shrimp run on a treadmill? Really? Do we need to spend $3 million just to watch shrimps run on a treadmill?
Does playing FarmVille on Facebook help people to make friends and keep them?
How do you ride a bike?

University of California Bringing in Hundreds of Thousands of Asians For Scientific Greed
Annual fees for California residents at UCI total $15,621.10. Foreign students pay an additional $29,754.00. (
www.reg.uci.edu) .
So University of California campuses are admitting tens of thousands of Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and anyone else not born in California to "enhance their revenues." Private sector profits = "bad." Education revenues =wonderful. Brilliant. Resourceful. Diversifying.
Foreigners use college as a guise for immigrating to the U.S. and then bring their families with them by the tens of thousands. The Chinese in particular take advantage of American and university stupidity.
