this fake news article, trying to encourage trust in science, says "science has given us computers and planes" and then says "Scientific theories are far more meaningful and powerful than other representative devices we possess like art because science does not attempt to address reality, science is reality." Science is a concept, like the concept of truth or debate, science is not an agent or agency. saying 'science made computers' is like saying 'truth and debate made computers'. people made computers. the scientific principles used to design and manufacture computers is just tool not an inventor. computer design and enginneering is an art form. anyone trying to claim that they or the group the are trying to defend is science is using a thinking error, like the idea that only one agency can decided on what is true. everyone naturally decides for themselves what is true. other examples of thinking errors: 'if something is bizarre then it is not true'; 'if something is too horrible to be true then it is not true'; these are false.
