Science is in the business of telling religion which of its make beliefs are bull shit.
That's absolutely false. Not even close--even if you espouse naturalism. You can study mathematics, logic, philosophy, language, art, aesthetics, morality, human rights, etc--all not science. For crying out loud, science itself relies on a particular philosophy of science to even get off the ground--which is not itself science. CL was right. Science is the study of the natural world. By definition it cannot even comment on the supernatural.
That’s bullshit. Science studies whether logic is justified by any demonstrably effective application. Without what falls under the preview of science logic is nothing. Science studies whether particular mode of thinking and reasoning leads to the ends by which these modes are justified. Without that Philosophy is just masterbation. Science studies the neurology of appreciation for beauty, that is the ultimate master of aesthetics. Science assesses whether morality leads to the end by which morality is justified, without this morality is just opinionated assholes opinionating. Even the ultimate desire that motivates humans in any aspect of their behavior at their most basic level is subject to science. Science studies what social construct will lead to the desire end, and without this human rights is so much hot air.
Science studies whether any human conceit, be it morality, language, mathematics, logic, philosophy, aesthetics, art, has any validity in the sense of doing even a little bit of that by which it is said to be justified. And science studies why that conceit arises in the first place at the most fundamental level at which any human thoughts and conceit can be said to form.
If it is there in any sense or reality, science studies it.
