It is most definitely not necessary. You could, if you so chose, do without it. In fact you could do without all of sciences achievements and live naked in the bush somewhere gathering fruit and hunting animals with your bare hands. Though we could differ on what we mean by science as your statement:
I feel science has been of marginal expedience in my life clearly shows you think that most of what you use in your life is independent of science. Maybe God invented the wheel?

No, it means most of what I use "that I consider mundane or trivial" has been affeceted by science in a positive way (I don't know how to make the little letters bold, as in your example, so I used quotes) 🙂
I would never want to spend 2 hours traveling to church on horseback, with no A/C, and I like being able to evacuate waste without going outside my domecile. These are the mundane things science has helped me with. The important stuff, fortunately, is still in my hands.😀
