Science is a process of discovery, observation and proving the observations.
Science should not be based on faith, but on the sum of provable observations. My philosophy is not to be persuaded by the norm forfeiting the focus and value of getting to the truth of an observation.
Religion, well that is a broad convoluted mess of the presumed belief in an idea whether it’s a god, political or philosophical being pushed and sold as truth, none of which should ever be allowed to influence science by the slightest. Therefore any so called science that has such influence is not science, its just another religion.
