I think most scientists might agree with you on that except of course the notion that somehow science leads us away from the truth.

I mean, science wants to approximate truth. Let's say reality is a scenery and science is a painting of that scenery. The painting may not be as good as the true scenery, but the more work you can put into it and the more precise you can get, the more it will resemble it.

The idea that science removes us from the truth seems like a bit of a contradiction.


Anyways, as an attempt to not derail the point of this thread entirely, do you think science removes your subjective reality further from the truth than the major religions?
