11. You must have me confused with someone who pissed in your coffee
Science started out as "natural philosophy." The word science didn't even exist in its current usage until the 18th Century.

If you want to argue that the history of it doesn't matter, fine. I'd probably agree with you. I was only offering some harmless context. If you're just in the mood for being ill mannered, you might find more compatriots in GD:P.
