Paramashivan,

To quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method...
Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning
Irrespective of what one is investigating, "gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence" is the crux of a scientific process. How then does the metaphysics of any religion fall into Science? Maybe one can say that the ancients had a "scientific spirit", but they didn't do "science" for sure. Further more, with a demand for objectivity, and of course Occam's Razor, we have to throw all philosophy out of the window (of Science I mean ). Of course, this doesn't mean that all those are not "useful" (in some measure of utility) to a human life.

Love and Light.
