after reading what you posted at 5am, from my understanding of the complication posed by u - i have the opinion that correlation and science are interdependent. i would say CORRELATION is SCIENCE AND SCIENCE is CORRELATION.

the reason? well just look around. take statistics for example. it is a discipline, a science (math based) based on correlation (sometimes).

as there are so many unique cases in science, you can never safely say that science is built on correlation nor correlation is built on science. the fact of the matter is that they often work in interchangeably.

either that or i may have completely misinterpreted your post due to unclear language.

i need sleep.
