Does studying science make you a better person?

104. No authentic scientist would invalidate what you just said.

I don't think OP was proposing that being made a better person is a zero-sum commodity associated solely with scientific understanding. One can infer, from OP, that becoming a better person, in addition to being the result of many other things, can also corelate with scientific appreciation of the world, including the many different kinds of people in it.

It's sort of like saying, "There are many different things that can produce light, of which, scientific understanding is just one."

I hope you don't mind me defending science this way; it is often misunderstood how essentially humble science actually is. People don't know that it claims no absolutes, not even itself, even at its very best, most scientific fineness, with its most certain results, it does not claim ownership/absolutes about anything, including the question you raise. Though it might produce an either/or cause statement in a specific situation, that's not it's predetermined objective and it doesn't assume that what it is describing is true of everything. That's its service to truth and that's why I find it delightful.
