Everything in science is a logical or mathematical model that attempts to explain and predict reality.

There are many mind/body, quantum and mathematical (like godel's) uncertainties that state that all these observations and mental constructs are built on some metaphysical quicksand but the fact that these models do mimic reality show that they have validity.

That said, I will take philosophy and science over some nutbag religious scripture as rules to live by any day.
