Alchemy relates to a spiritual element. Medicine relates to the science of many things..disease treatment, causes, healing.
This is not religion vs science. Medicine is no religion. It is science.
Your opinion of the effectiveness of Medicine is no reflection on it's rightful inclusion as Science.
The main reason we know so little is that we keep introducing new issues to the the species. While it is very difficult to keep up, it is undeniable that incredible strides have been made.
If I had my heart surgery or my skin cancer treated 15 years ago, I'd be awful shape because of the improvements in the SCIENCE.
