Separation of Science and State

[The Architect Of Fate]

Policies should always have a scientific basis and religion nothing of value in policymaking and should be totally excluded from it. Any abuses of science are not founded in science because science is only a method.

People on this forum think of science the same way that evangelicals think of God:

So mind reading and strawmen now. Usually, you only resort to one.

 when it does a good thing, it gets the credit, but when it does a bad thing, something else must be to blame.

Yup because abuses of science are apart from science 

In fact science is a loose set of practices, always enacted by fallible biased human beings.

Science is a well-defined set of practices that are humanity's best method of understanding the world and has been it's amost productive endeavor.

 These days it is funded mostly by for-profit companies and the Pentagon.

The United States isn't the only nation that does science 

 Scientists are very likely to discover the things that their funders want them to find. 

And conspiracy theories 

Putting our trust in some abstract noun called "science" is a faith-based abdication of responsibility.

Nope

 People in government should act with scientists as advisors, but make their decisions along ethical lines.

Ethical lines are informed by science ethics do not exist in a fact-free vacuum
