I few weeks ago I was talking debating with a colleague over coffee. He's a nice guy but is very into new age drivel. we were debating the merits of science compared to whatever he was talking about .To paraphrase him his chief concern is science will always get you to the "wrong " answer. His example was the whole egg controversy . So he concludes that if science can't solve that it should not be trusted with anything important. This is stupid for three reasons .
1. Science is only wrong if it's methods are not being applied properly
2. When science is wrong what do we use to correct it? Science..
3. Science is a process in progression. if we believed that science was right off the bat or idea's were held as sacred unchallenged gospel immune for further study you would not have science anymore it would be ideology . It would also end science because what would be the point ?
I tell you this I take the imperfection of science over the utter failure most other systems any day of the week
