even with our fancy cities and cool weapons, we as humans are animals.

I see science as the method of arriving at beliefs about nature.

It's too easy for us humans to assume permanence due to our short life spans. All of the beauty we see could easily be destroyed by our hands, or nature's. In reality, everything is in a state of flux. We could lose it all in a second, and its a miracle we're even here to behold

Viewing nature in that way isn't very practical or pragmatic for the exact same reason(s) it isn't practical or pragmatic to do so in science. This thing we refer to as 'effects due to gravity'. We think in terms of 'Cause/Effect' for VERY good reason(s).

If you complete this thought you will see why the former hinges on the latter and why we in the latter know in not knowing. “Falsification.” Having beliefs justified by nature we know we are wrong no matter how right we want to be. Not wanting to be right we may stay true

I do not understand. What is the natural method?

“Nature” is kind of illusory as most people think of it. It’s a weird arbitrary distinction between human artifacts and everything else, when we are just as much a part of nature as anything else in the universe. We too appeared spontaneously, and by extension our technology.

I think "science" is very overloaded, and it's not really invalid to use it to refer to the concrete set of beliefs discovered by the method, or the community of people/institutions dedicated to the method, or maybe even the philosophy that says the method is a good path to truth

But yeah, Science used to be called Natural Philosophy, which seems in line with your meaning
