The source of SCIENCE

I suggest that we might consider the source of scientific inquiry
as the rage we might have felt when confronted with natural catastrophes, rage that made us guilty and against which we defended ourselves by seeking answers and solutions.
I should add that the internalised rage of actively seeking explanations to natural phenomena has led us to the creation
of empirical scientific knowledge. In neuroscientific terms,
my supposition would include the correlated emotion
of rage and seeking which, throughout centuries,
has given rise to to the scientific methods of observation,
then, deduction and/or induction.
