True science, like math, is not about belief but data. Truth is not detached from science - they should reinforce one another. The problem, as is true with religion, are those who falsely claim they are following scientific principles.

I agree science is run as a religion, a totally corrupt one at that. Our media confuses people conflating invention with discovery. Science is not a very creative activity, it is one of discovery and often trial and error and recording/analyzing of data after the fact. Consequently scientist have a horrible record when it comes to prediction of real world effect of anything. Engineers are the ones that apply science in creative way to invent, they are much better positioned to make future predictions based on data.

Empiricism of studies on human subjects is practically impossible. The contention that studies only provide a glimpse of a moment in time with human subjects is true. For example, diets change; environments change. From the start of a human study to peer review to final publishing usually takes about five years. People may have drastically changed in the mean time. Thus medical information is best gleaned from the clinicians.

Honest science should be believed.
Honest science is truth.
We are seeing the outcomes of fake, bogus consensus science,
where people who have "qualifications" are lying deliberately while hiding behind a
web of lies that they call settled science.
People like the climate change hoaxer in London and the
pandemic modeller also in London who publish bullshit tales
that are fantasies designed to give authoritarian governments
reasons to be dictatorial, all in the name of science.
Organisations such as the CDC, WHO and their associates are owned, funded and answer to big Pharma and similar oppressive groups.
These fake scientists need to be held accountable for the lies that
have badly impacted many many people.

Honest science is never ending doubt.
Honest science begins with accepting that you don't know how much you don't know.
Science is peer reviewing even the most trusted.
Science is young scientists poking holes in the theories of the old scientists to make better theories.
Science is never settled.
Science is to never stop asking questions.

It is a religion, and most of these disciplines compete with each other to be seen as the new secular priestly caste, some more than others. Psychology is the worst one.
