Knowledge without science leads to great peace. Knowledge with science leads to great civilizations. Science without knowledges leads to great destruction.
there is no good or evil as you like to see it. There are no good or bad people only good and bad decisions. the evil man is nothing more then the lost man who is in need of help and doesnt know it. the misinformed that make decisions based upon that and believe they are the right ones.
the bible says to pass those evil ones, but does not say to help them.
help them find out who they are and find peace in themselves. before you can do that you must find peace in yourself and discover who YOU are.
you may believe you know but you dont.

Part of being Good is being able to distinguish and balance two things: the means and the end. For example, if a certain country wants to promote goodwill, it may be necessary to do some fighting to teach and uphold goodwill. However, is it worth it to start a war to promote and sustain good? Then there's serial killers out there. The end: Feel good for whatever reason. The means: Kill +whatever crimes committed. It's about being able to balance what you do and what comes out of it.
