I'd say that science is a misused term these days. (I don't think the CO2 and vaccine cultists are honest, and honesty is an essential ingredient of science.) But, used honestly and properly, it's not misleading. The scientific method is a well-tested way of gaining a more realistic view of reality. For example, one can make a test to determine whether moving air at a given speed exerts less pressure on a surface than slower-moving or stationary air. A further experiment will show whether or not an object's curved side experiences a greater air speed compared to its flat side when moving through air. Before you know it, you've got a wing that can lift a 20-ton aircraft a mile high. Neither faith nor common sense, good though they may be, gave us that for 50,000 years.

The essential element of science is credible evidence and the ability to verify evidence or consistently repeat outcomes. That’s all. And that’s all that can be counted on.
Well said. Sure science has been somewhat corrupted because the masses are retarded and prone to religiosity with anything. Trust the science is literally not how science works. Everything should be open to scrutiny. Any claim can and should be tested. But people are retarded and want to be sheep. And you can’t question religion. It’s a part of faith. If you question religion, you’re scared into thinking that you’ll spend eternity in hell. Just for questioning. In a world full of scammers and grifters, religion teaches you to be blindly obedient. Wild. Religion is legit harmful but people constantly tell me that I’m mean for not letting people be happy with their delusions. I can’t imagine how much better off humanity would be if people started thinking for themselves and developing their own moral compass. Imagine a world where people acted toward solutions instead of praying.
People are absolutely terrified of dying and having no answer to the unknown that lies beyond being alive. So humans have made up many stories with “answers” as cope that make them and their kin feel better.
Of course those stories and “answers” were all weaponized by the sociopath humans to control populations / tax / wage war / kill / etc.
Just happy I’ve been able to see through all of it. Religion is one of the creepiest mental prisons I’ve ever seen. Antithesis of freedom and critical thought.
I’m so glad I broke out of it
Respect dood its a very hard one to break out of.
I was raised by atheists but found their position to be as weird and as extreme as religious people.
What is so hard about saying “I don’t know.”?
