The word science is known by many, if not all, all over the world. Infact to many, any thing which is said to have been scientifically proven, is regarded as truth.
Science crept into our lives and have come to stay in our lives. Almost everything we use today have an aspect of science in it. It is part of our lives and none can be separated from each other.
It is even said that apart from the Almighty, the next set of people that humans look upto are the scientists. Their inventions have made life much easier.
This contest entitled The Wonder of Science will guide us, as we explain more on this topic.
Science has helped build a great civilization. - What is your opinion on the matter?
There is no doubt that science have been a great asset in building civilization. In Egypt, we saw how science helped them in amazing structures that are been revered till today in the world. One of these great structures is the Pyramid.
We also have the amazing civil engineering skills of the Romans in building the Paved roads. Which is led to the tarred road we are using today. Some of those amazing science engineered roads that were constructed back then are still in use today in Italy and some other places they colonized. This construction led to great civilization and it has led to faster communication, easy transportation and helped established routes for purchase and sales of goods and services (commerce).
Even today, it has helped a lot in bringing about civilization to our doorsteps.
As a matter of fact, science assisted a lot in building civilization.
Take my own hometown for instance, there is no entrance and exit route that doesn't cross a river. There was a time our bridge collapsed. The villagers suffered a lot as a result. They constructed a baboo made bridge but only those on foot could walk through it. This caused a lot of hardships for the villager as they had to pay huge amounts to cross their goods and building materials to the village.
The lives of so many were also lost as a result of the delicate nature of the locally made bridge.
Not until the then rulling government's attention were drawn to the situation of the village that they awarded the bridge. And guess what? We now have a wonderful bride that makes vehicles, trucks and individuals to access the village with ease.

How do you think our lives would be if there was no science?
The story I just shared above concerning my village explains the situation man would have been without science. Live would have been miserable.
The truth is that science have always been there right from the creation of man.
Remember that without being scientific, man would not have known how to design and mode implements used for cultivating the land. How those tools could be used on an animal to make cultivating land very easy.
Remember too that it was a scientific discovery when man brought about fire. True that non of us can say for sure how they did it.
So whatever science discovery we have today is an evolution of what have been there, they just build on it.
So if there was no science life would have been meaningless and we would continue in our darkness till we die.
If you could ask a famous scientist one question, who would it be, and what would you ask?
If I have the privilege of meeting a scientist, the person that I would like to meet is Benjamin Franklin. The person who discovered electricity.
The questions that I would like to ask him are:-
What did he know bout electricity before he discovered it?
What was the reason that motivated him to discover it?
How did he know the materials that can be used to conduct electricity?
How did he feel when he felt the shock of the electric current.
How did he know that electricity passes through lightening?
Share three amazing science discoveries that make our lives easier.
👉The discovery of electricity and how it can be harnessed from natural sources by Benjamin Franklin is really amazing and have been very helpful in our lives. His work and that of other scientist who on the field of electricity have brought additional joy to human. Almost everything we make use of today is powered by electricity.
👉Telephone and Mobile phone discovery is another scientific discovery that have made life easier for people. Before now, we communicated majorly through oral means and later, through letter writing, which takes about 4 days to 2 months before it reaches its intended recipients. But today, we can reach and communicate with another people at the other side of the world easily.
👉Internet discovery is another scientific milestone that have made life easier. The Internet makes the world to look like a global village, on it are built various things that spans from health to technology which improves people's lives too. Not to be forgotten is that even the steemit we are using now was made possible because of the Internet.
Conclusion
Science have played a lot of role in building civilization and it will continue to do so. Granted, as it is helping to build civilization, it has brought about certain woes too on the human populace.
However, it's positive benefits seems to far outweigh the challenges that come with it.
Thank you all for reading through. @moyeon @mesola and @shiftitamanna, please come and take part in this contest. Success in advance to you all!
This is my introductory post here
Sains memiliki manfaat yang sangat besar untuk mempermudah kehidupan kita, dan anda juga memperlihatkan salah satu ilmu sains yang digunakan oleh masyarakat untuk membangun jembatan, semoga kita semua selalu bahagia
Thank you, friend!

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
The construction of bridge in your locality was the main eye-catcher for me in this post. I greatly admire the direct application of science you have expressed in your post.
Also in electricity, internet and communication science has made alot of unerasable development and improvement.
@ngoenyi, It has been quite a delight reading this write up. All the best.
You have just used the right word👉 unerasable. It can never be erased. Thank you for reading through and dropping reasonable comment, I appreciate
Dear Sir, If you had met Franklin, the electrical scientist, you would have asked a few questions. I would have one more question along with your questions that is did he know that people will die by touching electricity? You mentioned three inventions electricity, mobile and internet. Every discovery in science is amazing. Science has made our lives easier. Especially medical science. Without science, we would have to fight with the wild animals of the forest like primitive people. Your writing about science is very beautiful. Good luck to you.
Your question is a good one. I will also like to know. I will add it to my list. Thank you so much
Wow nice to see you participate in this interesting contest
Thank you
Regards,
You have shown the benefits of science in two pictures. The inventions of science have made our lives easier and more beautiful, although many are misusing them. We are constantly taking advantage of science. Without science, your village might not have a bridge facility. Many of you are curious about electricity and how it flows through a cable. So many people want to ask who is Benjamin Franklin.
Sure, science has added to the beauty of life. I appreciate the Almighty for the knowledge

Science has create much impact on us and we can't do without it.
God gives us life and hope but scientist make it more beautiful by decorating everything around us, for instance, stay without an electricity for days and once there is light, you will notice a different atmosphere.
So sorry for the bridge in your state but thanks to God it has been fixed.
What surprises me most is that of telephone, they make it in such a way that you can't really miss your lives again because through phone call you still connect with them.
Thank you very much ma'am for the invite
I appreciate God for the wisdom and knowledge he gave man to be able to do all these things. It's just amazing! Thank you for the comment
