Perhaps we should come up with a convincing answer to that question, rather be unprepared in the moment and the act indignant after the fact.

Here, I'll start:

- Science gave us antibiotics a hundred years ago, savings hundreds of millions from certain death since then. Now would be a good time to listen to science again, or we will be facing a catastrophe of biblical proportions in the next hundred years.

Please add your ideas in the comments.

Anything that runs on electricity, the internet, wifi, computers, fiber optics, lasers, etc. Not only we use those things every day that come from science, but most are oblivious to the gigantic infrastructure that powers a single Google search.

Probably much sooner than that.
