You are all going to hell with your evil science!

[cronoslogic]

You're obviously mistaken Richard Cranium. It's not the science that is good or evil, science is a neutral medium. What is done with the scientific knowledge is what can be defined as good or evil.

Is a baseball bat good or evil?

NEITHER!

However, if I use that baseball bat to bash in the brains of a fellow man, then I am using the bat to facilitate an action that may be construed as evil. The same goes for anything else.

Now run along you mental midget and go read some Socrates.

@cronoslogic I think he was trying to be be sarcastic.

I don't believe that anything is good or evil

Good and Evil are simply notions

Things simply "are", anything & everything that happens in the universe is balanced

Nothing is lost, nothing is gained. Things only transform and its ones' perception that lead to the believe good or evil

For every effect in the universe there is a equal and opposite effect

If something "bad" or "evil" happens, an equally "good" effect exists

Thanks for the insight Anthony Acumen. :-P

If it exists in space/time, black holes affect it.
