I could mirror several posts here in terms of the technical description of the Scientific Method but, from a philosophical viewpoint, I see Science as the one thing that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom, but only just. Some species can think and experiment but we do it on a grander scale and for reasons beyond basic evolutionary advantage.
I suspect that Science is the unwilling villain in much of our endeavor and possibly our ultimate savior. For me personally, its the reason for existence because it allows us the possibility of comprehending the impossible without resorting to "blind faith".
