It doesn't. Science means to know. The poem shows the tangibility of faith. There is seeing faith as well as blind faith.

The six men argued for a long time and spoke loudly of what they had experienced of the piece of the elephant they encountered. They would not listen, or try to understand, how the others had experienced the elephant. As a result each had a part of the truth but, because they would not listen or attempt to understand the others, none actually knew what a whole elephant was really like.
