You count how many times people in these kinds of discussions chant slogans like Science is true no matter what you believe, use the term "science" as if it's synonymous with "reality," and declare that anyone who doubts that our scientific knowledge corresponds to the nature of the physical universe is some kind of lunatic.
And I'll count how many times people say that science is a human construct with all the biases and cultural influences that entails, admit that scientific progress is inextricably linked to war, politics and business, and that our knowledge is merely imposing order on the chaos of phenomena to make it comprehensible to humans.
You really think there's a question as to whose bucket fills up first?
