There's nothing wrong with science. It's just collecting and analyzing data, from a methodological perspective it's been around ever since Aristotle said we should measure things with our senses, rather than just our imagination.

The interpretation of scientific data is become very "religious," in my opinion. Fervently so, in fact. Natural events should have no impact upon our human understanding of the truth.
