Comment on Why is science better than the alternative? (And what is that alternative, exactly?)

  The scientific method is founded on creating reproduceable, consistent results to prove a hypothesis.

  It delivers consistent knowledge, which is the most important thing.

  So science is something we use for getting us knowledge about the universe?

  We could call it a tool then. Right?

  Yes

  And it’s better because it delivers higher quality knowledge?

  It’s not “better” than other options, and it doesn’t deliver “higher quality” knowledge. It is the only way of obtaining knowledge about our universe. There’s no other option that it’s “better than”, because the other options don’t result in “lower quality” knowledge. They don’t provide any knowledge at all.
