Thank you. I think that when we place science in its proper context — as a human endeavor subject to all of the factors of human society — science will be more efficacious. Right now, because of scientism and its elevation of science to semi-divine oracle, science has shades of fundamentalism or totalitarianism. People must either wholly accept science and its dictates or be apostate. That opens the door to science skepticism more than any other factor.
