Science does not have to reduce everything to mathematical equations. It's about studying cause and effect, and using experiments to measure those causes and its effects. That, in a nutshell, is the scientific method.

Er, not exactly. The scientific method is about verifiability and falsifiability, which hinges on one important thing: whether the results of an experiment can be replicated over and over again, especially by different people in different places. If it cannot be replicated again and again with the same results, then it is not good science, period. From there your entire position falls apart.
