A system of understanding the physical universe that is open to adapting to new information, even if that new information means that what was previously assumed to be true has to be henceforth regarded as false.
Contrary to popular belief, a scientist does not (or at least should not) attempt to prove their theories correct, but rather attempt to find any flaw in the theory, so as to gain a better understanding of the fundamental principal being studied

The difference between Astronomy and Astrology is that Astronomy has undergone numerous changes in the course of its history. Astrology, on the other hand, still suggests that someone born in, say, late October, is a "Libra" when in fact the zodiacal constallation the sun was in when they were born would in fact be Virgo.
This is an easy way of seeing why Astronomy is a science, while Astrology is now mostly relegated to the horoscopes section of the newspaper.

Get the Science mug.Subtly different from regular, or garden, science, SCIENCE! is when reality starts to break down in a haze of maniacal cackling. Any idiot can practise science. It takes a real psychotic genius to pull off SCIENCE! The capital letters and exclamation mark are important.
Newtons laws of motion are science. Frankenstein's monster was SCIENCE!
Performing SCIENCE! occasionally leads to angry mobs attacking your isolated castle, wielding pitchforks and burning torches.

Get the black science man mug.Scientology was founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the 20th century.
Scientology is practically a fake, lie, sham, con or deceitful, whatever you wish to call it. Scientology takes advantage of the gullibility and stupidity of people around the world, just to earn extra pocket money.
Scientology believes that a warlord known as "Xenu" obliterated a bunch of aliens a very long time ago. The bad souls of the aliens, called "Thetans", feed our body, thus making us depressed. They believe the only way of getting rid of these "Thetans" are to pay the Church of Scientology more money.
Only people with a large amount of stupidity and gullibillity would join this cult, such as Tom Cruise.

Get the Scientology mug.A corporation masquerading as a religion and only succeeding as a cult; a major bringer of lulz unless they're killing off members of their congregation or disconnecting families. Lovers of free speech unless the free speech is being used against them, in which case they will stalk you and sue your ass faster than a fat kid pissed at McDonalds. Run by a midget who is BFF with Tom Cruise. Exists to give members of Chanology something to do other than sit around and fap all day. Their religion runs towards asking for moar monies and making fields of wildflowers for Tom Cruise to run through.
Also, they hate the gays.

The Church of Scientology defines scientology as "the study of truth." The rest of the world defines them as masters of the footbullet.

Get the church of scientology mug.A pun which is contrived from the common exclamation "oh my god". The intention of the user of the expression is usually, in addition to expressing exclamation, to also draw subtle humour at the grand religion vs science debate (regardless of whether religion and science are truly mutually exclusive in the first place).
Oh my science! You wouldn't believe what I just saw.
Ha ha ha, you atheist. So what did you just see?
