My point was that science is a tool we use for explaining our shared objective reality.
It explains the "how of it" and it is a collection of tools, based on rigor with the scientific method.

There is no point at which an idea fails to be science. Because there is no point at which an idea becomes science.
Instead, we validate our ideas as being an objective description of reality, using science as a tool for doing so.
An idea can be validated as being objectively real with science though.

I'm getting to the other stuff as well. But an idea can be tested with science to validate it as a description of some subset of objective reality. That's all I'm saying.
