Science isn't even the be-all-end-all. I am not anti-science, but there are many scientific studies that are bought and paid for by interest groups and biased researchers.
Many studies cannot and have not been replicated. In fact, so much so that, at times, it makes it hard for me to entirely trust something just because someone says: "A researcher/scientist said so!"
I think humans, especially those who elevate science to almost the level of divine understanding, blind themselves with the exact same ignorance and biases that the religious do. It's effectively faith. Faith that the science was done right. That there was no bias. There are, of course, clearly replicable studies, and these are ones I hold as fact, but we know so little about the human mind that research on psychology is mostly guesswork.
Given that science is a constant process of improvement, and in the medical field standard practices change all the time, I think people should reserve at least a little scepticism for the sciences as they do religion.

Science is a process, a method.. or rather a practice. We must not confuse science with data or researchs. By the process of making science, we acquire data.
But yes, That process is just like many other, open to biases if not done properly. (We can take for example a lot of sexist bias in the last century or so) Thing is, this process is what works the best.
But science is not here to research the potential "divine". The "divine" is not a scientific question. Science works without it.

My definition of divinity is the Hindu one anything is capable of being worshipped
Take any example anything at all. It has it's importance
And the act of having faith is paramount. Faith is the thing that shows results irrespective of the object of worship
Not now.
Leftism is against establishment and seeks to destroy existing ones
As for ISIS, it does not fall into right - left classified of the west. It's a separate entity guided by Sharia laws
Similarly Hindu Nationalism is too guided by Dharma and does not fit in the Western Right and Left
@Okamakama
The Vedanta system is an acosmic pantheism, holding that the Absolute called Brahman alone is real and the finite manifestations are illusory. There is one absolute undifferentiated reality, the nature of which is constituted by knowledge.
The illusory means Transient and is prone to change.
