If you're talking about being our saviour from religion, I think having a strong scientific influence in our society will make a measurable impact on how religious we are as a nation. If you're asking will science save us from destroying ourselves, I don't think anyone will know until it happens or doesn't happen. As it stands right now, as optimistic as I try to be, I can only say it doesn't look good. Especially with climate deniers running our country and people who will sell the good of our future for the good of the now.

Lets put it this way, if an asteroid was screaming toward Earth, I would have more confidence in a science based plan (say like actually doing something to try and save the planet) than I would in a plan that required people to get on their knees and pray. Science would save us long before religion would.

I think science will save us but we are a little over confident. But then again we have science deniers running rampant out there so who knows.

I think it was "God" who gave us dominion over the earth, and science that has been trying to enlighten us to the fact that we are just one more species competeing for survival. The fact that the god given dominion thinkers have used the gifts of science to compete more has just hastened the time when we out run our resources. As for being our saviour, I seriously doubt that we can be "saved" from ourselves.

No, I don't think we can be saved unless we change in some drastic way.

what is it saving us from

science needs a society to support it.
If society remains intact then science will continue to hold possibilities but if society breaks down then science will fail. Our future lies in our ability (or lack of ) to work together.

Science has the power to be our 'savior' if and only if we can convince people to accept the process. I don't like being negative, but the picture is bleak.

considering that the earth has only about 800 million years left as a life supporting planet (or at least life as we would recognise it now) then without science and technology we are doomed. can science save us, yes, will science save us, probably not, we're a fairly stupid species who constantly ignore facts in favour of our own preconceptions an biases.

The scientific method has salvatory efficacy, but that attribute depends on scientists being true to the method.

What do you mean by savior? Savior from what?
