questinthrowon Americans' trust in scientists, positive views of science continue to decline

Science was never meant to be a political tool where you can bludgeon those who dont agree with you as being unscientific. The more you use it as a weapon the more people will start resenting it for being used on them. Still as people moved from religion to ideologies like communism and nazism as their new God, now they abandoned those and moved to science as the single spring of truth and morality. For most laypeople science is now a religion that must be "trusted" instead of a tool fundamentally based on falsification.It is not a tool for establishing principles of morality and conduct. If you think you can trust the "science" then you are fundamentally unscientific, science is based on finding counterexamples not on trusting.
