I don't think there is a problem with science, but only with some
scientist (and alas with those who are often more refer too in
popularization).

Actually I don't believe in any scientific field. I believe only in
scientific attitude, which is almost just modesty, along with
curiosity, and some amount of willingness to share.

Science, defined as the fruit of that curious but modest attitude, can
only go from doubt to more doubt. Despite a growing knowledge,
ignorance grows quicker. This can be illustrated with the G and G*
logic, but at this step, it would be useless technic. I will try to go
back to the roadmap ...
