So if you don't mind placing your Intuition Science on the shelf beside Library Science, Computer Science and Political Science .. rather than on the shelf reserved for the natural sciences whose study employs the scientific method .. I think I can stop calling Intutional Science oxymoronic. Deal?
No deal mate.
Real science is a lot older then modern science.
In fact the first science goes back 7000 years ago when Lord Shiva gave INTUITIONAL SCIENCE.
Your link say that science is related mainly to this physical universe.
What a crap!!!
This physical universe is external to us therefore is not as important as the science that study what is within.
The old saying.............IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ALL YOU WILL HAVE TO KNOW YOURSELF.........and this require to extract the knowledge from within rather then from the external arena.
Have it your way. Of course older is better, right? So rubbing sticks together is way ahead of using a matchstick or a lighter.
You may have your antiquated usage of science, but don't think you get any of the cache the word has gained once it was associated with the scientific method. No, your science is the science of clay tablets and chanting and rituals and traditions. Perhaps someone did sit down and figure something out back in the day (though more probably they just made shit up) but the rest of you slacker students have just been memorizing it wholesale ever since.
In relation to the Science which has done so much to improve our quality of life and to add so much to our understanding of the way the world works, your science bears no resemblance. In relation to the good stuff, your science is still but a thin, oxymoronic shadow.
