Sorry but this seems like a cliche statement. How could you ever prove this? All religions? All science? Over what time period and for whom has it made a greater impact? IS the invention of the ship good for the African when he becomes enslaved and shipped across to the US? If we all eventually get wiped out by nuclear weapons or a bioweapon, is science good for us? If two peoples go to war over some land and resources, but use religion as a tool to convince people to go to war, is that any different from us going to war for oil, and using threats of weapons of mass destruction as an excuse?
It's impossible to tell which is going to have the better or worse impact in the long run for us all. Right now, I'm happy we have both, but in my opinion the advance of science is the bigger danger to me and humanity.
