It’s human nature to make inferences about the world - to observe effect and infer cause. No matter whether the cause you land upon is Jupiter sending a storm to kill the crops, or global weather patterns, you’re still using data to make guesses about how the world works. “Science” (capital s) isn’t limited to discovering oil or landing men on the Moon, it’s also about feeding your family, or guessing what the best birthday present for your kid is. It’s an inextricable part of us.
