Actually, science is mostly observation and description. Sometimes the descriptions can lead to theories, but only after peer-majority agrees the theory adequately describes enough observed cases to be trusted for prediction. Most of the seemingly immutable parts of science are in fact maths.

That's not science, that is a preliminary to science. If this were not so, astrologers -- who do lots of observing and describing -- would be scientists.

And maths is mostly description of observation...
