    There is no "reason" why his mind is in that body, just like there is no "reason" for a freckle on his big toe. And do you really think that "mind" is something that is dabbed onto bodies as an afterthought, like a coat of paint? I think it's more of an emergent phenomenon caused by the biochemical complexity of the system, or another elegant proposal i've heard, that the brain is more akin to a receiving device than a transmitter, and is simply a node for the all-pervasive consciousness field which permeates the universe. It congeals in our cranium as it were.

    I guess you should examine why you think "growths on his face" can be spoken about logically but not "mind". Look into how you are dividing your world up, how you have been taught to divide the world up into the profane and the sacred.

    is "science" something that must be brought in from the outside into a conversation artificially, opened up, turned on, waited on to boot, and then utilized in an awkward and alienating manner? it is simply a way of looking at the world in an inquisitive, careful, methodical way, something available to you in a laboratory looking through a microscope or in bed looking into your lover's eyes. It is giving the totality of reality the credit it deserves and understanding that the universe is such that you are in a position to trick yourself readily, or be otherwise deceived by levels of meaning and detail.

    but science is exactly what allows us to discuss natural human phenomena. and natural human phenomena are exactly what much of science is aimed at (biology, sociology, psychology, ecology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, economics, politics . . . these are all areas of inquiry aimed at answering our deepest and most fundamental curiosities).

    I think you have a misconception about science because of skewed media portrayal or because you hated your grade 10 chemistry class (whatever). If you really understood what science was and how it works you wouldn't see a divide between what looks like an amorphous, squishy, circular, liquid expression of one of the most wordless experiences that can exist, and science at it's most fundamental level.

    Science is just honesty.

    I would zoom out even more, consistency is a subset of what science is; science is to always weild the awesome might of the ? instead of being satisfied by the first (or trillionth) . that shows up

    I agree. Simply a practical statement going forward saying that science confronts always the antithetical tension of superstition and this moments revelation becomes the next moments prejudice if the spirit of science is not consistently applied. Some of the most well practiced scientists withhold from scrutiny areas of their own participation life such as their own emotional states.
    Science is a jealous God and at the risk of being discovered, honesty becomes a chore.
