Sounds like a common goal of science. The contrast would apparently be

and crystal power which, to me at least, seem far less structured and
ordered than
the world as I see it. I guess that's why those people who believe in
Astrology
and crystal power are typically liberals and only pay attention to
science that
agrees with their preconceptions, like that humans are destroying the
planet.
