A lot of people make that misconception. We didn't "make our own science." Science is simply the study of something.

"Our" science is the ability physically and logically prove something using the resources we have. We can then put the facts we find and put them against our units of measurement that we created.

Or to put it another way: We find proof and then interpret it through the use of human measurement.

So it isn't the facts or science behind it that human's created, what humans created was the means to read and record said facts.

For example:
It is a proven scientific fact that you are able to see how old a tree is by counting the rings inside of it. That is something that occurs naturally in nature. However, it was humans that introduced a counting system and a system of time.

We can figure out a tree's age in years by counting it's rings. (Two human derived measurement standards.) However, if those standards didn't exist, that doesn't mean trees would stop producing rings inside of them, nor would it mean that those rings would no longer represent one of Earth's rotations around the Sun.

Do you understand what I mean? The science and facts will always be there. They aren't human creation. The only thing that is human creation is the means to interpret those facts.
