Pants, an even less useful answer than mine.

Better - you know, better than, as in being less worse

I cant agree because "better" is not really specified.
Finding work with good pay is for most engineers a piece of cake. Scientists often struggle to find a pay that is enough for live.
Mankind needs really many engineers and (in comparision) few scientists. So scientist should be the most advanced engineers, but (that many) engineers do a lot of work for every day live.

Haven't heard/read SC, but aren't both necessary and dedicated to really different things? isn't he comparing apples with lorries?

No.
You need both scientists and engineers for the whole thing to work. One, without the other, is pure madness I tell you. Madness!

All I know is that scientists "do it" repeatedly to verify experimental results, while engineers discover how to "do it" in new ways.

I always looked at this way, scientists invented/discovered plastic and engineers build things with plastic.

I have to say as a scientist and an engineer, I'm conflicted!

Where would engineers be without scientists? Material scientists? Metalurgists? Brewers?
Consider a layered approach, you can only build a stable structure on a solid foundation. Just as the items at the top of a totem pole rely on the lower item for support, it's the items at the bottom that are most important.

I neither agree, nor disagree. Separating is what lead to bad results in both scientist and engineers. In fact in our time there is no science that matters on its own and that's why smarter people doesn't matter in the current world (unless they have a gun, but having a gun is independent from the mind).
I had a "introduction to genetics" optional course in university (I learned software engineering). The practice was super easy, because algorithms was so easy to program and little knowledge in genetics allow to do a lot in biology. Unfortunately people do not, because there is not programmer that is biologist at the same time.
So if I'm both scientist and engineer and I learn theory and philosophy, while understanding everything throughout experience will make me smarter than most people on the earth (except for those, who had been born smarter than me). Unfortunately I do not have time to be both, that's why we people communicate.
The most difficult part is to find a person that in their free time wanna talk about mathematics, programming, genetics, chemistry and so on, and not talking about general stuff that the most people talk.

I'm trying to imagine, as the lyrics of a song entreat me, that there is no heaven, that when I look up all I really see is sky, but in doing so I have to pit a scientist against God. Due to some theory. But that isn't really what Sheldon Cooper wishes to say when he compares an engineer to one of these theorists. I think engineers are responsible for the way I feel. So, I'm going with ... Engineers are better and the esteemed Dr. Cooper is wrong.

All I can say is that at least when I was in college an Engineering degree required more work than a Bachelor of Science degree. And it required more technical courses as well.

Who is Sheldon Cooper, and why would anyone care what he thinks?
Scientists find interesting bits of knowledge about the way the Universe works; engineers find ways to apply those bits to solve problems. Without either we'd still be living in caves, wondering if rocks might be edible.

I am disappointed by the lack of "extinct volcano lair" options on the market...
|

its such a personnel thing the lair, do you have docks for subs or launch pads for rockets? where do you put the convenient air ducts for access by your enemies?
are you using sharks or heavily armed hamsters(if Chris has left any)?
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
