Science. I appreciate and love art - it’s wonderful and feeds the soul, fires the imagination and has no purpose other than itself.
But I wouldn’t be typing this without science and what a crime it would be if I didn’t tell you all my thoughts on any given subject every day. |

"Which do you deem to be more important, science or art. And why? 
Hey OP, are you asking which is more important on a personal level?"
Answer from a personal or societal level, whatever you fancy.  |

You can't have a lot of the arts without science (screen drama, recorded music, plus medicines / medical technology, etc, so science.
But to look at it another way, I am more interested in art than science in terms of content. |

"Don’t know much about sciencey
Don’t know much Artology
What I do know is that I love you, and I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
More cheese, Grommit?  "
Cheese is science… or Art.
I forget! |

Science is unquestionably the more important of the two.
Without its application, even in the most basic of forms, we would still be a very primitive species.
Art is a subjective thing at best and whilst it may exercise our emotions, it’s not going to find a cure for cancer. |

For society to survive and move forward we need science more. Art isn't going to solve global warming - science is. Art isn't going to develop better computers, or more efficient cars, or cure cancer. So on a purely "important to the world" level then science is more important.
Having said that though, without the arts what a boring world it would be. Movies, music, the paintings hanging on your walls..... THAT song that means everything to you.
The world wouldn't have developed as much as it has without science (some may say this would be no bad thing) but it would be infinitely less enjoyable to live in without the arts |

We are still exactly the same species as we have always been. Technology evolves and life changes but humans remain the same.
For me ART is by far the more important because it is a method of communication; of expression an emotional outlet and a depiction of the human condition.
So if we have art and not science then people will die early as they are supposed to and the population wouldn't be so huge. You'd have to watch people dying from awful illnesses though ...... but ART is more about life and people
and besides...... ART never made no nuclear bomb |

No AI either. |

I think that we have evolved with the science, if the scientific achievements of today had been presented to early man I don’t believe they would have exploited it.
Art may not have made a nuclear bomb but it has undoubtedly been responsible for some other atrocities  |

Hmm depends I love both, they both have very different qualities. Art I adore it pulls at my heart strings and the cogs in my brain. Science generally only makes my cogs whirl. Can't we like both a bit like da Vinci? |

Science.
Because Science is Art.
Take pure mathematics which is a numerical form of art in and of itself. There is beauty in numbers.
Mandrelbots is another more visually accessible form of numerical Art.
But it's still numbers.
Everything is numbers.
Even Art.
Zeros and Ones.
That's all everything is.
(Until those pesky Quantum Entanglers arrive with their Uncertainty Principle and tell us you can be zero, or one, or both zero and one or neither at the same time.)
(I do wonder then, was the Mona Lisa painted with the Uncertainty Principle in mind ? Is she smiling ? Or demure ?)
Science painted the Mona Lisa. |

Art (including all the genres) inspires scientists to do what that achieve. And science achievements inspire artists. It’s a coexistence. Human kind able to inspire and at times kill on levels that are horrific. |
