The author demonstrates that he doesn't know what science is. There is much more than correct reasoning necessary to do science. For example, philosophers spent thousands of years pondering ideas in topics such as gravity and chemistry, without getting much ahead. And this is possible because there is a practically infinite number of ways in which the world could be explained using logic, but these explanations cannot be ruled in as true until you perform at least some experimentation.
What makes science different is that it requires observation of the world and testing of hypothesis about the observed behavior. Without a rigorous process to do these things there is no science, only philosophical speculation.
