The age in
which we live is an age of extraordinary scientific and technological progress.
It is the age of space flights, of television, of nuclear power, of clever
chemistry, of automation and computers, of the transplant of living organs, of
sensational discoveries in biology and medicine.
It is an
age of wonders.
The trouble
is that too many benign conquests also have their negative sides. Inventions
and discoveries that open up new worlds of peace and power also open up new worlds
of war and destruction. The creation of new terrible arms, the tragedy of
pollution, which is gradually destroying so many forms of life on our planet,
are but a few examples of man’s offenses against the world we live in.
