Science has representatives that are susceptible to the flaws in human thinking that are also apparent in religion. The recent pandemic made that very clear.
There is a scientific community that has good and bad players in it. Science doesn’t get to wash itself of human corruption just because it’s a process
When I responded to the commenter before you, I was thinking more in the general sense with scientific constructivism and the Bohrian interpretation of observation, measurement, and reality in mind.
However, what you said reminds me of the more institutionalized issues plaguing the sciences, and my mind went to the textbook case of The Bell Curve.
Science is a construct made by humans in their effort to best understand the world they exist in. The consciousness of science is not nothing, but the collective conciousness of every human being that has participated, and along with it, their collective follies and limitations.
Science is a process, like running. It has no consciousness.
That’s certainly an oversimplification.
