115. Hell yes I can argue with that. It goes a little something like this:
"The human race is waiting.....for a scientist or a group of scientists to screw up big time."

In science fiction, at any rate. There are lots of made-up end of the world scenarios. Meanwhile, back in reality, replicating conditions that happen in the atmosphere all the time is clearly as dangerous as replicating the conditions of me walking to the shops the other day by walking to the shops again.

And I really, really want to know your data source for "As science becomes bigger the chances of this happening increase" as if there is some connection between the amount of scientists working on something and how dangerous it is.

No really, got anything outside of Terminator II: Judgement day to back that up? Or anything else in your last post?
