You may want to consider the implications of that statement when it comes to science...

You man Science as in

Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1] To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning

"To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning"

But that is an arbitrary definition which assumes that all of reality can (and must) be empirically quantified - an assumption which can be proved using this very definition of science.
