This includes some things about the negative as well as the positive aspects of science. Most scientists see science as a method of inquiry, but many substitute it for religion, replacing proper science with what their critics call scientism. It is a demand only made by those who feel a craving for authority in some form, and a need to replace the religious catechism by something else, even if it be a scientific one. Most of us were taught that science is limited to making statements about the empirical world. This simply will not do.
Science can only provide clues about the way the world is.
It cannot possibly become a map of all reality. Indeed some scientists, like those employed by tobacco companies or those who help develop chemical weapons, may be part of the problem rather than its solution. Even scientists who avoid extending their study into non-empirical realms may still practise a version of scientism. They do not view science as presenting us with a useful, but incomplete, mental blueprint that only approximates to reality. Instead, they take it as a complete map to be taught as dogma.
