Truth, like countless other stuff, isn't accessible to science. Science is concerned with understanding the material world, but even science itself has proven it to be immaterial (quantum psychics). So what's left of materialism? Nothing.The truth is that awareness alone exists, and you can't have anything without it.

@Alien No.. the lady is not speaking anything absurd.. She is simply saying how science works...

First of all, don't confuse between the absolute and relative truth..

Absolute truth is self-evident... It is the basis of your existence.. There is no need of any external evidence for absolute truth... It is who you are.. people are just identified with things in the relative domain that they forget who they are..

But everything you use in the relative world belongs to relative truth. Don't hold any grudge against science and don't think that scientists are ignorant or arrogant. A true scientist is a humble person, more humble than people who would want to believe in anything... People create some stereotyping that doesn't make sense.. 

Science is neither in competition with spiritual path nor it is against the spiritual path. It is just a careful method works based on verifiable evidence. It is because of science and technology I am writing this message here and you are reading it. There is a lot of misunderstanding about how science works..

Everyone uses the scientific method to some extent unknowingly.. It is similar to how police investigate to find the person who committed a murder.. The first man who learned to use the fire obviously did it by scientific method unknowingly.. He must have noticed some fire while rubbing two stones... He formed a hypothesis that rubbing two stones caused a fire. He experimented with it, again and again, to make sure that the friction between two stones is actually what is causing the fire... This is pretty much the gist of the scientific method. The scientific method used in modern days is just a refined way, which makes sure that there are no errors.

Also, don't indulge in the game of discussing who is ignorant, who is unconscious, who is speaking absurd etc... That is taking a backward step, it is a trap. Just because a person is meditating or doing a self-inquiry, he is not superior to anyone else.
