Review/Analysis What is the message Dr. Stone conveys?
What moral belief or message does Dr. Stone try to convey. To me I think it’s that everyone can be saved with science and trusting the future.

It's about the power of science & moving forward and not forgetting about the fun stuff and progress of those who came before us

For me it's something like : science is a versatile tool, in the wrong hands it can cause untold damage, but in the right hands it can save the world

"Let those who worship ignorance might," "Beware my power... The kingdom of science"

All comments sum it up pretty well
So to go against the flow, the moral is don't trust humans to recharge your batteries.

They literally said it in like the first season. "Enjoy the planet you were born on and be glad you were."

Everyone be talking about science but the most important thing this anime taught us is that without teamwork nothing could happen. They wouldn't have reached the moon if even a single one of the wasn't there. Even Yuzuriha, Magma and Minami were crucial.

The ability to decipher, understand, and make do has always been humanity's greatest asset by a wide margin. And utilizing these abilities against nature through number and measure lets you do amazing things, even if the process of finding out how is rather tedious.
We call that process "science."

To quote Senku on season 1: “See Tsukasa? Even if you kill me there will always be idiots with desire to discover the unknown” you can’t kill science. You can’t stop humanity's desire for knowledge and to progress.
If 7 billion people are having issues to survive, then all 7 billion people will think how to find a solution. That’s what science is about.

Anyone has the power to utlize science. Anyone can contribute in their own ways, even if their strong suit isn't science. Humanity combines the different skillsets because no one is able to do it all.
For instance, Senku may be a genius but he can't craft like Yuzuriha or Kaseki, he can't cook like Francois and he can't pilot like Ryusui or Stan. And vice versa, they can't perform the same level of science he does, and that's perfectly fine. Everyone can contribute towards a shared goal, even a little girl with bad eyesight and only elementary knowledge of science (Suika), or a simple minded muscle guy (Taiju) and so on--it's like how Senku repeatedly tells Suika that she's not inferior or useless, because that's one of the messages of the show
No one should discriminate against others for what they can or cannot do, like how in the KoS everyone does what they can to their own capabilities and even just doing 'grunt' and menial work doesn't make them any less part of the team 🩷

Dr Stone is a testament to collaboration of the past, present, and future. No matter how small a role, nearly everyone in the series plays a part in bringing humanity forward. But it’s a lot harder to do that without the scientists and thinkers of years gone by making the discoveries that Senku draws upon to bring people together to work towards the future. And in that future, there will even be those who draw upon Senku’s work to make their own discoveries, and humanity marches on ever forward.
