"thought process" is what distinguishes humans from others in terms of deciding whats right/wrong, (finding the truth) its not just science.

Here is a difference i have observed between science/religion. In religion, we try to reject things rather than try to find true meaning (via thought process or practice). Which is really difficult in this time as "i can go buy pizza in 5 mins" kinda mindset.

One more way we use reasoning is "if i didn't experience (via the senses) it doesn't exist". It takes time, really long time for the people (in tech terminology scientists, in religion terminology saints) to understand the universe and give us peace. Both religion/science are true. Religion talks about things which can't be experienced by our senses, but gain peace. While Science talks about the other, where the gain seem to be human advancement (to where ?). This may sound confusing at beginning, as it was to me. But, if we go through the same struggle of finding the truth, we will get it.
