Does the church have freedom to experiment?

I’ve been thinking about this lately when I ran across a quote from Nikola Tesla

“Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.”

I think that if we are not careful, the church can begin to create formulas and equations for what is currently working or what used to work. Eventually you build a structure which has no relation to reality.

Kind of scary actually.

I think we have a responsibility to experiment.
