What is the difference between science and science using statistics?
This example may help understand the difference.
Science.
The sun will appear every morning. That is scientifically provable.
If a person balks about the possibility that it may not occur, or it doesn’t occur, it means there is either no sun or no earth and this question is moot. Until then it is scientific fact. After that there is no objects on which to test the hypothesis.
Statistics.
What is the probability the temperature will be exactly 85 degrees Fahrenheit for the three hours starting 12:00PM to 3PM on Saturday July 12, 2014. The answer is a probability of practically zero. It may or may not occur. No one can guarantee the event will happen.
Statistics used as science is an oxymoron. It is not possible.
Statistics used to analyze scientific results is possible.
Statistics to determine scientific results is not possible.

It is Carney-val show time. The Rings Master may be a skilled host, director and entertainer performing acrobatics. Bring into the Midway tent the rings of clowns, magicians, flying trapeze artists, plus all the elephants, lions and monkeys, and snakes that will perform for everyone's entertainment. Aside: snails are a performance measuring device not a food delicacy.
Enjoy the show.

Remember there is a bright future to finding all you need to discover of those with whom you do not have to agree.
Note: Clear focus on reason is suggested if planning a long-term investment.
