Science told us for decades that dogs were evolved from wolves.. now just recently they've found that we didn't domesticate wolves, we domesticated dogs. I saw some pundit author talking about how that's the beauty of science, that it's self-correcting, but he didn't consider the flip-side of the coin: society blindly believes everything science tells us, and sometimes it's just assumptions..

The worst assumption science makes that has been firmly embedded in the zeitgeist is that everything is made up of non-living stuff--everything is material--and behaves purely according to clockwork mechanics. It makes our world a dead, dreary, and mundane place. It also makes people disbelieve in God and the afterlife and causes them to dismiss their own personal experiences they have (and most of us do have them) with the paranormal.

More generally, the problem is scientism per se.
