Right on Sam! If we did not have Science, NONE of the objects you have in your house would be there, the car you drive, the medications you take, etc....Afterall "Science" means'knowledge' and that is all it means. The Scientific Methods helps scientists, and many others figure out how to equate the things around us into logical, defineable things, whether they be mathematics, astronomy, how fast an egg falls from a building, how far Superman can jump, or how far Mr. Incredible can move!
Obviously you do not understand what 'Science' is or even does.
If it was not for Science, people of Komodo would still think Komodo monitors were venomous, and would not know they have a commensalistic bacteriums living with them. The people of North Africa Bedouin tribes beleive V. griseus is venomous - and currently a prof. in Colorado is finding out why they believe that, and if there is any validity to their superstitions or whether they have merit - I believe there is merit to what the North Africans feel about V. griseus, but 'Science' will find out via investigation, collection of data, testing, collating and summation of these results and will publish it for all the see, rebuke or agree with = until another 'idea' comes up to support, disregard this idea about V. griseus. This is how Science works.
What fr sees is merely what he sees, and perception of what he sees, nothing more. He sees alot, and says a whole lot, but how much of it real science? That is where contention comes in, and now and then, tempers flare....but more often, laughter ensues...
