Imagination vs. Science

Ever since childhood, we have been given opposing ideas about how to think in life. As children, we are taught to use our imagination, and to believe in the power of love as the cure to any problem. As we grow older, we are taught to use logic and reason to solve our problems, for love is not going to put food on the table and keep us warm at night. We are taught that education strengthens nations, but are not reminded that it also destroys nations. Science creates cures for diseases that are caused by nuclear weapons, another invention of science, used during wars that are due to greed for power and money.
Comparing men of science to their childhood selves, we can see that no man was born evil: Adolf Hitler, George W. Bush, Ariel Sharon etc...All men of science and "education" were once children with imaginations. Were their childhood selves and imagination responsible for mass destruction and man slaughter? No, their "adulthood" and scientific power greed minds were. Imagine the world ruled by children. Would it be a better place? If imagination and believing in the power of love were to rule the world, would there be poverty? Would there be hunger? Would there be wars?
