The science side isn't even complete. There is a replication crisis in science due to people conducting junk studies that can't be replicated by other experimenters. Replication of results is a crucial step in the scientific method, as is a genuine effort to falsify a scientific hypothesis. The experiment should not be conducted to confirm a hypothesis but to falsify it (problem of induction). This is another thing believers in Scientism do not understand. If an experiment has clearly been biased to confirm a hypothesis rather than attempt to falsify (like most drug trials for example) then it isn't scientific.
The replication crisis is due to 'scientists' being paid to write papers rather than obtaining results. While it may have the outward appearance of science it's not science. There's statistical manipulation, p-hacking, publication bias, and outright data fabrication and blatant fraud.
Yep. Roughly 50% of papers can't be reproduced. If the paper is from China, more than 80% can't be reproduced.
50% of scientists are frauds. And it means almost no science is conducted in China. It's why they steal everything from everyone else.
