The Simple Truth about Light

[Aegon]

I mean to say that science isn’t a thing that we make, it’s thing that we do.

Science is the only man-made thing that attempts to systematically and proactively benchmark itself against something higher than that the very basest and most worthless of all possible standards - man’s own wishful thinking.

I agree, to an extent. Though I think we glorify science a bit too much on occasion... it's impossible to avoid subjectivity when relying on any data perceived or interpreted by people. Also, real, legitimate scientists have had agendas to push and have allowed that to cloud their studies (yes, you can say "Well they weren't legitimate scientists, but then I'd push back on your definition of a scientist.) Not to mention that many scientific studies have been difficult or impossible to replicate (particularly in psychology but virtually in all fields.)

I think it's the best we got for understanding the universe we live in but sometimes the language people use has me uncomfortable, bordering on irrational worship of science.
