Religion has often both encouraged and constrained scientific advancement throughout history. Most major religions value understanding nature, but some scientific ideas have also challenged certain religious doctrines. Overall religion will likely continue influencing science and technology development, but their relationship may evolve over time. 3. Some potential negative effects of advancing science and technology include increased environmental impacts, risks from new technologies, job disruption, and exacerbating social inequities.

How are science and technology
related?
Science contributes to technology in at least 6 ways:
1. Direct source of Ideas,
2. Source of Tools and Techniques,
3. Research instrumentation, lab techniques, and
analytical methods,
4. Practice of research,
5. Assessment of technology, and
6. Knowledge base that enables more efficient
strategies.

Technology contributes to science in at least 2 ways:


1. Providing a fertile source of novel scientific
questions, and
2. Source of otherwise unavailable instrumentation
and techniques.
