Strictly speaking, science is meant to operate as a methodological way of interpretating our senses. But people make it so much more than that, they speak of Science with a capital "S" as if it will solve our problems, save the planet, and exalt mankind to a new plane of being. Just watch any documentary to see the overtones of awe and metaphysical wonder that scientific findings are supposed to elicit. It has little difference from the awe inspiring content one finds in church. As a flat earther I subscribe to a strict empiricism that is more than Science. It trusts the sense, not the methodology of how the senses are used. That we see is enough. Do not treat your ability to sense the world as equal to belief in God. Science can't fill that void. Stop worshipping at the alter of Science...

Without faith in something, whether it be capitalism, Buddha, Gods, or science, mankind inevitably consumes its weak, at a rate more appropriate to nature’s intention. Tl;dr We have these big ol brains but if they’re not directed to something deemed “good,” even if wasteful and inefficient, then I’m really afraid to admit that we become sharp rational savages quite quickly. Probably until we form another faith in something irrational or superstitious again. Yeh
