Science is not received wisdom or divine truth. But some people think it is…

This tweet encapsulated how so many people especially those who worship “science”, treat science as not as a best understanding of how things work based upon empirical research using the scientific method, but as an unwavering statement of devotion & catechism of a secular faith.
Science doesn’t even need formulation and refinement of hypothoses, just a curiosity to ask: “Now, what will this do? Let’s find out!”
