    Science isn’t a philosophy, its a process for approaching the truth. Yes, I can’t prove what I am saying and it is based more on a strong feeling than direct proof. I think the question of consciousness is a particularly important one, and we know very little about it still.

      Your first line is science is a means to find truth, your second line is I have no proof I just feel it.

      Edit. I did not mean for that to sound so aggressive, I disagree with some of what you said but you are genuine.

        The science is the means, not the truth.

        Well, the scientific method is, not sure if that also applies to the definition of science as s singular word.

        You treat science/knowledge as a philosophy when it is inherently incomplete and always will be.
