While it has its roots in Latin, the word "science" is an English word, and you do not properly understand the definition by your own account. You don't get to decide what words mean, and you don't get to tell us that we don't properly understand certain words when it's clear from your typing that you barely understand the language you're using.
"Guess who belong"? Yeah...the neighbors are probably sick of that rattling sound, Rik. Better give the wall a break. It'll be there tomorrow (unless its consciousness activates and it walks off somewhere, I guess).
Your deep ignorance is outstanding.
Well before the Latin and Greek era further east in the Indian subcontinent arts literature and science
were created.
systems of science whose antiquity baffled all power of astronomical calculation

The study of language in India was much more objective and scientific than in Greece or Rome

You're citing...somebody's Facebook notes? As a source?...

Look, I have zero interest in whatever alchemical-yoga-pseudoscience you and your facebook friend think you've dredged up from the ancient world. I'm talking about actual science, under the modern English definition, and that kind of science is a systematic study of the natural world based on evidence.
That kind of science has crushed virtually every testable religious claim that's brought before it, to such an extent that apologists have been reduced to hiding behind circular logic and "God of the Gaps" while their pocket of viable scientific ignorance for Gaud to exist in grows smaller, and smaller, and smaller by the day. They've been forced to hide behind claims that cannot be tested by science because science is (among other things) the scythe to which superstition falls and the thresh that batters the chaff of ignorance to the wind. You don't get to call your Chopra-choker bullshit "science," and you don't get to tell us what the word "science" means. If you want to bring up some ancient ghost story that happens to involve math, don't refer to it as science because that's not what the word means. At best what you have is pseudoscience, and if we're being honest what you actually have is some made-up bullshit.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
