I can't answer that, until you've defined science. For more about this, see the OP.

why do you have to presume that people who do not agree with you do not know what science is?

As I've said, Niels Bohr was scientist.
And he said this:

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.


It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.


You think that such a great scientist had no idea what science is?

Now, what i think what science is:
science is defined through it's method and it's task.
It's method is scientific method, it's task is to make a model of reality.
As science advances, that model becomes more and more complete.
But, I personally do not think it can ever be fuly completed, because:
Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.
