About why science is important?

I am assuming that you are asking this question from your computer....that receives a signal that either travels through the air or phone lines, and then takes what you type and transfers that into a code the computer can understand and transmit then back to something you can share with the world...All science.Or The fact that with this typing you are exposing these thoughts to the whole planet...at the same time...almost instantly....again SCIENCE.Or inventions...cell phones, ipods, MP3 players, plasma TV, Video Games, cars, air conditioning, light bulbs, electricity, air planes, computers, cameras, radio, theaters....guess I could go on forever....all originally concepts of a scientific mind.Traveling into space, under the ocean, studying tsunamis, earthquake warnings...all SCIENCE.Medicine, life saving surgery, advancement in the study of illness like aids, breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and STDs....SCIENCE.and on, and on, and on!
