Literature is considered an art rather than a science, and as such it is an arts degree, rather than a science degree. It can be argued that there is some psychology within literature, which of course is a science, but the overall consensus is that literature is not a science.
Literature is not a science. While both fields involve studying and analyzing information, literature focuses on the interpretation and understanding of written works, while science is a systematic and empirical approach to gaining knowledge about the natural world. Literature is subjective and can evoke emotions and personal interpretations, while science aims to be objective and based on observable evidence.
It isn't literature is more important than science because without literature science is virtually impossible!

There are allot of difference but the main difference is the science is discovered while the literature is invented
Science and literature both play important roles in society. Science seeks to understand the physical world through observation, experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning, while literature explores complex human experiences and emotions through storytelling and creative expression. Both disciplines offer valuable insights and perspectives that contribute to the richness of human knowledge and understanding. It is not a matter of one being superior to the other, but rather recognizing the unique strengths and contributions of each.
