  Definitions of “Science” and “Religion”
Science is not the affirmation of a set of beliefs but a process of inquiry aimed at building a testable body of knowledge constantly open to rejection or confirmation.
Science is the human attempt to understand the predictable, reproducible aspects of nature, with nature defined as that part of the physical universe with which we can interact.
Science may be regarded as a minimal problem consisting of the completest presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.

Science is the rational study of nature, rose to prominence in European civilization at almost the same time as the first European EXPLORATION of what is now Canada and was, from the beginning, an element in those explorations.

Science is a discipline of inquiry entailing rigorous observation and experimentation, followed by rational, often quantitative, analysis; and its theories characteristically make predictions that can be put to the empirical test, in which they may turn out to be wrong and thereby invalidate the theory.
But science alone is incapable of grappling with normative and intrinsic values; it cannot point to the purpose of human existence; and the shifting sands of scientific theories do not provide a firm ground from which to view the world.
During the rise of modern science, the percentage of scientists and their followers who advocated the principles of this new creed were a small minority, or "cult", to use Wilson's term, but by the twentieth century, they had increased in power and inclusiveness until they achieved a tolerance outside their circle of believers.

Winchell was right on both counts.
