The author should have used the word 'scientism' rather than science. Science is knowledge based on observation, theory, performance or trial and error

Scientism is modern occult science disguised as hard science.

Occult science emerged out of the Renaissance, the time when ancient Mysteries, Egyptian magic science, Kabalah (magic science), Gnosticism, Buddhism, alchemy, reincarnation, evolution, and Karma (magic science) entered into the heart of Christendom and embraced by certain powerfully influential Christians at the top of church and society.
