    That’s certainly an oversimplification.

    Science has representatives that are susceptible to the flaws in human thinking that are also apparent in religion. The recent pandemic made that very clear.

    There is a scientific community that has good and bad players in it. Science doesn’t get to wash itself of human corruption just because it’s a process

      When I responded to the commenter before you, I was thinking more in the general sense with scientific constructivism and the Bohrian interpretation of observation, measurement, and reality in mind.

      However, what you said reminds me of the more institutionalized issues plaguing the sciences, and my mind went to the textbook case of The Bell Curve.
