6 The great question for our time is how to make sure that the continuing
scientific revolution brings benefits to everybody rather than widening the oan
between rich and poor. To lift up poor countries, and poor people in rich
gap
countries, from poverty, technology is not enough. Technology must be guided
and driven by( オ) if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.
Scientists and business leaders who care about social justice should join forces
with environmental and religious organizations to give political *clout to ethics.
Science and religion should work together to abolish the gross inequalities that
prevail in the modern world.. That is my vision, and it is the same vision that
inspired Francis Bacon 400 years ago, when he prayed that through science God
would “endow the human family with
new mercies."
