Papers of the Third International Conference on the History of Chemistry and Chemical Industry (Budapest, 2–4 July, 1999) – First Part - Inczédy János: The role and responsibility of scientists influencing the wordl; past, present and future
- recent results of the natural and technical sciences, and - responsibility of the mankind for sustaining life in the future the way to solve the conflict, to save our World is as follows: We have to use the all results and conclusions obtained during our history. We have to obey to the fundamental iaws of nature; we have to obey to the rules of moral wisdom. A well prepared plan, based on the latest scientific achievements is imperative. Instead of selfishness, personal interests, hunger for wealth and convenience, the sen/ice of nature, highly responsible attitude of the whole population, with common interest, are indispensable. If mankind is not willing to change its mind, Gaia will surely revenge herself for the dangerous attitude with a terrible cataclysm. Illusions of autonomy, which are against the natural dependence of man on God, lead to catastrophes; They destroy harmony and the reason of the human life. 12 We do hope that mankind - in accordance with his destination - will be clever, and successful enough to save our World and to avoid the catastrophes.
