Correlational studies are not science. Science is discovering cause and effect. Agree or disagree?

Disagree. Mathematics is a science but does not involve cause and effect

Semantics. Adding 1 to 1 causes 2. It doesn't cause a probability of being 2.

Well, yes. But correlations point us towards potential sources of causation. And gathering potentially useful data counts as a part of science. Apparently.

What scientific discovery wouldn't have been made without correlational studies?

A fuck ton of discoveries in the field of biology were first described statistically in terms of trait correlation before being verified rigorously through molecular biology. There's literally nothing wrong with correlational studies.

How do you show you've discovered causality instead of correlation?

Math is an artificially created tool useful for science and economy.
People who use this tool are engineers. People who study this tool however, how are they not scientists?

Not him but you're extrapolating applied math to the entire field of mathematics. There's a reason why math is often divided between applied and pure.
