All we have is maps, and all maps are bad. Some maps are useful for some purposes, others for others. A map that helps us go to the moon may not be the best map for the purposes of, say, mental well-being, living in harmony, things like that. > Reality exists. Objective reality exists. Remember, the only information about that reality is supplied via/by our mind. Our mind also suggests choices about what to measure, what experiments to hold, and more generally what sort of maps to create. It is all subjective from the ground up. > Science creates models which more correctly describe the nature of reality than religion. Science makes testable predictions and creates models which help make further testable predictions. Those models do not “describe the nature of reality”. If you think natural sciences make statements of absolute truth, you are mistaking science for religion.
