Yeah, but using science I can make a really big "laser" to fry to a crisp impractical philosophers; using philosophy you can't do squat. There is a certain beauty and elegance in what science has enabled us to achieve in the real world.

I believe the word you were looking for was "technology."

You can know how it works all day long on an island without other people who make the parts for you and you would never get it made.

I know what principles the laser works on. I also don't consider the laser to be "subjective" unlike the untestable "evolution"
