A few contradictions.

Nowadays, of course, we have science which has made wonderful contributions to our lives like chemotherapy — that magical anti-cancer procedure that is all of 2.1 percent effective (see The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies - PubMed ). Forgive me if I’m underwhelmed.
Did you come to the conclusion that chemotherapy is "all of 2.1 percent effective" by trusting the research in a paper which, according to you, is likely to be inaccurate? And have you decided that none of the other factors increasing the 5 year survival rate are related to science?
Life expectancy in Peru
Is none of this 20 year+ increase in life expectancy in your country due to increase in our knowledge of the physical world?

My ancestors were gold plating things with a thickness of no more than a few microns more than 3,000 years ago without doing science.
How did you date this behaviour without using science?

Coca and tobacco was cultivated and shipped round the globe at the time of the Egyptians landing in their tombs for modern-day archaeologists to find and all without science.
Since when was archaeology not a science? And how is the identity of the remnants of plants thousands of years old established without science? And could you give us a link to the source for this interesting knowledge you have acquired about ancient coco and tobacco trade? And if your source isn't a supposedly unreliable scientific research paper, what would it be?
