Science from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge“[ is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe In an older and closely related meaning, "science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist. Since classical antiquity, science as a type of knowledge has been closely linked tophilosophy. In the early modern period the words "science" and "philosophy" were sometimes used interchangeably. By the 17th century, natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science") was considered a separate branch of philosophy.However, "science" continued to be used in a broad sense denoting reliable knowledge about a topic, in the same way it is still used in modern terms such aslibrary scienceor political science.

5.  Definitely it is bane. If we consider natural disaster
as bane, science is also bane. Science is curse to
birds, humans, and to hole environment. If we
consider hacking (using it in wrong way) is crime,
we should consider the science also as a crime.
Because hacking means getting the brief
knowledge about the resource and using them for
their own requirements means abusing. Science is
also just similar to hacking. Humans getting the
brief knowledge about the all resources on the
earth, and abusing them for own requirements. It
leads to disasters. So it is bane for all the
organisms on earth.

6. Science is always bane. Science is destroyed the
whole environment. Animals and creatures get
problems due to Harmful gases being produced
from industries and factories depends upon
science and technology.
Air pollution is increased Day by Day. Due to
science and technology Mankind becoming
more and more lazy and are badly dependent
on Technology.

7. According to me, science is a bane for as due to the technology
mankind is becoming more and more lazy and are badly dependent on
technology. There are at least two levels on which science could be
considered a bane. The first is the invention of things that have had a
deleterious effect on the world such as weapons of mass destruction or
toxic wastes that can poison inhabitants for years. The second major
group for whom science is a bane are the deeply religious who prefer to
use scripture and other man-made material to explain human
existence and human destiny. Science is their enemy since it has
explained a lot of the mysteries that plagued early humans and in
doing that has neutralized much of the power that the clergy has held
over believers.

8. Science was meant to be a good servant but has now turned out to be a bad
master.
Science as Curse:
1. Due to various scientific inventions, the jungle tracts has been destroyed thus
creating harm to the ecological balance.
2. Today though the vehicles have reduced the distance for us, the
pollution it causes cannot be overlooked.
3. Has lessened the amount of physical exercises there by increasing several
ailments and posture diseases.
4. Many lost their lives in the leakage of chernobyl Nuclear power
plant and due to the Methyl Iso cyanate (MIC) gas leakage
in Bhopal a few years back. This was due to the so called
scientic advancements. This is because of human
failure to anticipate the Disasters.

10. Science has given everything to mankind, it is
gradually depriving man of certain values like
love for fellow people, diligence, awareness
about the environment and so on. Like a coin
with two sides, science has its own advantages
and disadvantages. In fact, science is only to
assist man and not to dominate him. If all
scientists of the world take a vow to use
science only for constructive purposes, if the
people of the world decide not to depend too
much on scientific equipment's, if science
contributes only to the conservation of the
earth, science is really a boon to the world.

11. science has given remarkable work in each and every
sector which direct or indirect mix with human begins. It
changed completely our way of life. Without science we
cannot assume to live a second.
Electricity is a great invent of science, it gives the power
of all electric device. We have reached on moon to mars
because it was possible due to science only. Today we
have very equipped and intelligence machines which
help lot to people. Due to science treatment is possible
all kind of incredible deceases which was possible in
past.

12. Science will always be a boon and not a curse, because without science nobody
can reach in such a great position in which we are in now. Science is the only
thing that helped us to go out to space and achieve many great achievements. If
someone says that science is a curse, it is because they don't know that we
people are the ones who use science in bad way. For this we can't blame science
but we should blame ourselves for this. If we use science in a proper way then
people will start saying that science is a boon and not a curse. So I have a
request to the people who thinks that science is a curse. The thing is without
science will you be able to play in your MP3 players or your iphones?
So, just think about it and change your attitude.

13. Science as Boon:
One cannot regret the fact that science has done many good to humans.
1. One can compare the advancement of the nation to that of civilization. A
civilized nation is one which has achieved scientific progress.
2. Fast means of transport like aeroplane, and other vehicles have made the
world a global village.
3. Telephone, TV, satellite, Internet have made it possible to get the latest
information.
4. It has given us new medicines to fight diseases.
5. It has revolutionized our education system.
Thus Science becomes a boon or a curse which depends on how we use it.

15.  According to my point of view, science is both
boon as well as a bane. For example, cell phone
can connects people from nook and corner of the
world. But the same cell can become a hell if we
misuse or overuse.
Development in medical field is marvelous.
Without dropping a blood, the doctors able to do
surgeries. Plastic surgery plays an important role in
the field of surgery. Test tube babies become very
common.
As we know every coin has 2 sides, so there are
good points as well as the bad points of science.

16. I feel that science is a kaleidoscope. We arrive at different
conclusions when we view it through different angles.
Science has proved a gift to society in terms of electricity,
health care, ticket booking etc. Certain developments in
science has proved derogatory for the creative growth of
youth, though. They now spend more time on-line chatting
rather than on studies, prayer or useful discussion with
friends. I don't think it is the lack of knowledge, but sheer,
blind utilization of the apparent luxuries that science offers.
A student today knows the latest specifications of I-phone or
Ipads. But not the cost of items of daily use. Rice, vegetables,
petrol. Signs of science is on the one hand encouraging and
on the other hand dismal.
