Choose the correct Answer. The greatest enemy of mankind, as people have discovered, is not science, but war. Science merely reflected the social forces by which it is surrounded. It is found that when there is peace, science is constructive; when there is war, science is perverted to destructive ends. The weapons which science gives us do not necessarily create war; these make war increasingly more terrible. Until now, it has brought us to the doorstep of doom. Our main problem therefore, is not to curb science, but to stop war, to substitute law for force, and international government for anarchy in the relation of one nation with another. That is a job in which everybody must participate, including the scientists. But the Bomb of Hiroshima suddenly woke us up to the fact that we have very little time. The hour is late and our work has scarcely begun. Now we are face to face with this urgent question; "can education and tolerance understanding and creative intelligence run fast enough to keep us abreast with ourown mounting capacity to destroy?" That is the question which we shall have to answer one way or the other in this generation. Science must help us in the answer, but the main decision lies within ourselves.
