OK then, except that I think that you confuse "science" and "scientism
or fake science". I just don't see how "science" can be reductionist.
Science is "opening the eyes and doubting what we see".
When a scientist thinks he knows the truth (or acts like he/she was
thinking that) then he looses his scientific attitude. Be it in
biology, astronomy, theology or even in astrology, or whatever. In
science, like in conscience, public lack of doubt is akin to madness.
This is provable (indeed it is a form of Godel second incompleteness
theorem) for machines or lobian entities.
