Science went one step beyond religion, and claimed its truth
were incontrovertible "facts". Claiming a theory about physics,
a theory about reality "a fact".

The truth is - even a "fact" is a theory - a scientific theory.
Jung's observations were observations of facts as much as any
astronomer with a telescope would report an eclipse of the sun
as a fact.

Jung's basis of Synchronicity was not based on his delvings into
Astrology - you have your facts wrong.

What kills me is people who claim to be science oriented don't even
know what "Science" stands for. This is evident by your statement:

"Where is the experimental evidence to support..."

Last time I heard, science does not just entail so called "experimental
evidence", unless you want to throw out Astronomy or Archeology -
but only a fool would do that.
