Science is no different from religion.  This is understood in India
and China.  No clear distinction is made in China and India between
science, religion, philosophy, literature, art, religion.  They are
all just ways of trying to undertand reality, with different
emphases.  You choose to worhsip the current, conventional scientific
method as being perfect and without flaw.  Science is your God.  And,
you are a messianic fundamentalist about science.  You wor****p science
mindlessly, and uncritically, rather like the Nazis did.  This is
dangerous.  As it was for the Nazis.  The extermination of the Jews
was justified on a strictly scientific basis, by highly respected
scientists.   Highly scientific studies were done on human beings in
Germany and Japan during the second world war, involving vivisection.
All for science.  This is what wor****pping science and dismissing
religion will do for you, my friend.
