A Hindu Perspective: Science vs. Spirituality

I don't need to have knowledge about it if I can reference someone that i view has having the proper qualifications to explain something. For example people talk about science, without having first hand knowledge about how it actually works or being a scientist because they reference someone they believe who has the proper qualifications. The same way I am referencing the saints and their works who talk about this reality. 

Also to define specifically what the qualifications are would be a whole other essay. As i said before the reason for this essay is to establish certain points at a very highlevel. I would be happy to post another essay in a few days about the essence of these qualifications. 
 
Thanks
No, people who talk about science can do so with confidence because they have complete freedom to actually test the validity of the claims made by scientists by repeating the experiments with predictable results and observing the results for themselves. Yes some of the more complex experiments are not so easy for an average person to perform, however the means to perform said experiments is still there.

Now regarding saints, yes you can state that following the life of a saint would lead one to spirituality, however the problem is that it doesn't provide predictable results, also there is no control mechanisms in place, and the end result is quite open to interpretations and misinterpretations.

If you feel that way then I won't. Sorry for taking up your time.

I am not asking you to shut up, I am saying try to be concise and to the point so that your intended audience won't have to fumble around trying to figure out what exactly it is you are trying to present.
