You typed that on a portable device, right? And without any sense of irony about the unreliability of science.

The rise of a civilization based on technology and information is a towering testament to the successes of science. Lets not fool ourselves.

I didn't argue about the unreliability of science. Do I think such could be quantifiable by what information is available to humans today? Yes. Do I think humans without the aid of technology can say either way to the degree that science is unreliable? Maybe for tiny slivers like meta analysis papers on relatively minute subjects within science, but as a whole? I think not.
