Science: Creation or Destruction?

The way I see science is that it helps us in our everyday lives. We are surrounded by science everyday within everything that we do. We could even say that human beings are science as we are something that scientists still study and are trying to figure out.
To create all the things that surround us and that we have access to in our everyday lives, science had to be used. Not only was science needed to understand how to create a certain thing but it was also needed to know which things could combine well with another. For example for biological classification, grouped certain organisms according to physical characteristics, which then made it easier for us to understand which two things had similarities or differences. Classification is still often times used today in the sense that it helps us organise what we know and don't know in order to progress on what we don't.

As we create things in our lives and try to improve things using science for example medicine. Everyday thanks to science there is improvement on finding cures for diseases.  This is an area when we as human beings rely on science greatly because without it we wouldn't be able to move forward and progress. But can't we ask ourselves, aren't those diseases there because of science?
The way that diseases come to being is still a question that we are trying to answer today because if we knew it would be a lot easier for us to find cures. But we do know that as the world evolves new diseases are created and contaminate certain people. This is why we are constantly trying to find cures for the diseases that didn't exists a few years ago. So as science evolves, diseases evolve? As we create new things using science we also create things that we weren't necessarily looking for. As an example, pollution. How did all the chemicals and gases get into the pure air that once dominated the planet. Science progression is probably the number one reason. As we create paper, we cut down trees, as we create products, factories burn gases into the air. Even as we drive or take the plan somewhere we emit chemicals to pollute the air. An argument could be that now with science we are trying to come up with the same things but that will minimise the amount of pollution released in the air. However will the solutions come fast enough?

Karl Popper looked at science in a different way. He looked at it as when you have a theory that cannot be proven to be true you can always look at it and falsify it. He would test scientific hypothesis and see if they could not be proven true if they could be proven wrong. Science always looks at things and tries to see if they are true but he looked at it differently. Scientists try to prove things to be true for the advancement in knowledge. If something is proven to be wrong then they come up with a new theory and it replaces it with constant testing. This cycle repeats until they have finally found a positive outcome. Some things that scientists research will never have a concrete answer or even won't affect us or improve the world of science in any way. So why bother? Why do we research things that won't help us find out other things?
Maybe because of our schema. We constantly are trying to discover new things because we are thirsty for knowledge. We want to be able create patterns and tie certain things we discovered to others. We want to be able to create relationships between why a certain thing is one way and why another is another way and to do so  we want to have as many proofs and scientific knowledge as we can. Our schema also helps us to understand the world and how the environment is rapidly changing. We can use theses schemas to understand what need to find out for the future and what will be helpful.

As science evolves it allows society and the world to evolve. There are many different theories that influence us and our way of thinking. Even our schema plays part in the way that science develops. From what I have learned in science so far, we are constantly discovering new things. For example the periodic table in the past was not the one that we have today, as time passed we discovered new elements. Or even in physics and how we have many formulas and calculations to explain what goes on around us and we are constantly referring to something being "because of the laws of physics".  In conclusion I would say that I think that science is progressive and it helps us in our everyday lives.
