I feel that so much harm has come from trying to equate spiritual science with material science. Rejecting the mystical terminology was a tactic that was useful for Srila Prabhupadas time but it robbed Krishna Consciousness of the mystery of love from the perspective of rationalism. Love is not rational if it is unconditional, which is our goal (Prema). The simple fact is that the science rhetoric has never stood up to scrutiny and one has to accept such an assertion on faith ultimately. Faith grows in the process in some empirical way by witnessing the effects of KC in our personal lives, but it is not a science in the sense that one can reasonably extrapolate assertions in the microcosm and reliably demonstrate their applicability to the macrocosm by empirical brute force.
