whole bunch of people who belive that, the so called scientific rigour, is the answer.

.. science and logic are like a map or a photograph. a representation of the way we see/approach things. The photos/maps by their very nature cannot be perfect; just an indication of how we might proceed.
It's tough to question one's own beliefs.... but in the end that's how we change our minds and take a different direction.
It's important to update our photos and maps: 1) they were not totally accurate in the first place and 2) they should change as we gain new information.

Our whole civilation rests on manipulation of numbers, and we cant, it seems, to understand even the simplest, one.

Does it? So whether you get out of bed tomorrow depends on manipulating numbers? Who says we can't/don't understand the simplest "one"? We can and do if we agree on the framework: eg Euros versus dollars (US, Canadian etc.)
We are smarter (and dumber) than we give ourselves credit for.
