Technically, he's only partially true. There is, of course, the theory of realitivity, theory of gravity, and so forth.
What was weirder is that after his talk, I realized that the very ship I was on contridicted his claim; science made possible the devices that provide power for the ship; our nuclear reactors are most definately a product of science.

Oddly enough, he wasn't the most compliant worker.
Ok ...
