to be clear, this is my argument:
"pro-science" has come to represent a type of behavior in people that, much like the evangelicals, exerts this dogmatic-and-unproductive understanding of the world, and with utmost faith to an outdated portion of the western cannon. and beyond that, it lends itself to corporate interest by nature of corporate being the ones who fund scientific studies
i don't really have interest in taking this conversation beyond that. i realize that this argument is new to you, and that it's scares you, and i'm sorry for that. you can have the last words and i just hope for readers to take my argument for what it is.
What you're probably noticing is that a lot of people don't have the ability or tools to figure out how the world works themselves. So like we always have done as a species we defer to those that claim to know the answers we seek. It used to be that religion was the place we would get those answers. Nowadays science and the scientific method has been shown to be the most effective and reliable source for answers about the world, time and time again. So people "blindly follow" science because it has been shown to be the best and most trustworthy source of information. Not to say it is perfect in every way, but there isn't anything else even slightly close to it's ability to give concrete answers about the universe.
