Abstract
A logical analysis of what science is, how and why it emerged, how it evolved, its philosophy, its institutionalization, etc. reveals that 'arithmetic' has a role in each and every aspect of science. The fact that nobody can defy the laws of arithmetic, implies that given the basic properties of the 'stuff' with which the world is made, it is mathematical determinism that decide our science and its evolution. So, our science cannot be different.
