In fact, science is neither materialist nor idealist; it is simply science. It’s impartial and can’t be answerable for the direction of its conclusions.

About This Quote

The world is a complex place. Science is a valuable tool for understanding it. The word science, however, has become a misused term that lacks a clear definition due to misuse by people who have no idea what the word actually means. For science to be useful, it must be independent of the direction it takes.

The scientific method provides an impartial way of understanding the world. Once it has been properly applied, science cannot be answerable for the direction of its conclusions.
