Science is about logically proving/finding something, period! You can even apply science to unexplained events, like in parapsychology. That science and religion don't oppose each other should be obvious to anyone with a bit of a brain, it's people manipulating one or the other that screws up things. Otherwise you wouldn't have scientists openly with faith in high positions managing scientific research.
I think what's more sad is that some people don't even know what's an exact science and what's not and still believe anything the scientific trends of the time say. Want a sad example ? The secondary effects of vaccination. It's true that not getting vaccinated is dangerous but guess what, getting vaccinated can have some catastrophic results to your health. Yet some guys in the media sometimes treat anyone worried about the secondary effects of vaccination as complete lunatics.
Another sad example is psychology, the top researchers are the 1st ones to admit they're in just the start of the very infancy of understanding some stuff at the neurological level, yet there are the most stupidly unfounded trends going on that every scientist starting their career swallows, because they probably won't have a career otherwise. It's also funny that the big visionaries in the history of science had to go against the trends of their time and some only were recognized after they died, that should say something about unfounded trends. Some were recent, Einstein's more important theories were not well accepted at 1st for example.
I think these things, as sad as they are, might open some eyes a bit regarding the safety of nuclear plants and what has been shoved up everyone's ass*s for many years. They're not safe and huge numbers of nuclear plants without there even being any breakthrough in the treatment of nuclear waste is completely insane and arrogant.
The next generations will hate us all.
