Science is the systematic observation of natural events and conditions in order to discover facts about them and to formulate laws and principles based on these facts. 2. the organized body of knowledge that is derived from such observations and that can be verified or tested by further investigation. 3. any specific branch of this general body of knowledge, such as biology, physics, geology, or astronomy.
Nobody decided who would be in control. As a “conservative” you should like the idea that there is no government body controlling it.
Conservatism functioned far more efficiently and without intrusion prior to the reemergence of that eons old 'systematic observing methodology' got declared the law of the land.
Keyword here is 'systematic' as in system think. The 'system' think as ordained as in an attempt to replicate Moses bringing down the TEN COMMANDMENTS, is at the very core of big and bigger and now biggest possible government the system can legislate. Remember you did say science through 'systematic' observation ...... formulate laws and principles based on these FACTS.... When in FACT evolution from that great mythical primordial hot steaming pot of pond scum, is a delusion upon which system think is founded.... More laws formulated from system think ... but for the sole purpose of system preservation. NOTHING conservative about any of the system think.
