Science also gave us the atom bomb...

Just sayin...

And religion also gave us free breakfast on Sunday mornings...

How original. Maybe next you will tell everyone to thank the doctor and not god, and how mad that made you when you got surgery?

At least it's not about chick-fil-a.

Condescending statements work both ways.

More like science: allows you to waste billions of dollars that could have been spent on useful shit because you're trying to compete with the Russians, and your scientific research is ultimately constrained and directed towards the ends that people in power want them to be directed;

And religion: can justify flying you into a building, but on its own will not motivate you to fly planes into buildings because the people that do that usually have other reasons why they're angry (like the American military bombing Iraq for 10 years, giving billions of dollars in weapons to Israel, and putting their bases in your country).

Without the technology needed for the space race, smart phones, the GPS, high power computers (to name a few) might still be science fiction, nothing irritates me more than someone who cries about spending money on space exploration, when the very medium they use to rant was created thanks to previous space exploration funds.

Maybe if they spent that money on researching GPS, internet, cell phones in 1968 we wouldn't have had to wait so fucking long.

And where the fuck is my hovercar
