> Science is just a way of deriving underlying mechanisms from the evidence.

Science speculates on underlying mechanisms but is concerned with
data rather than human solutions. As such, it can correlate information
from staged experiments and fabricated models, but these rarely address
anything related to practical human problems.

I have no interest in superstition or demagoguery, but the evidence
clearly shows that scientific materialism has destroyed the meaning
of life that tradition offered.

The destructive power of science is not limited to two devastating World
Wars, nuclear weapons, and the rape of the environment. Advocates of
scientific primacy like to associate science with morality but can only
argue that the redeeming virtue of science lies in its potential ability
to provide material comfort and plenty for all, and bring about an
increasing equality of human condition. Such misguided notions are just
another example of our own lack of purpose and consequent moral bewilderment.
