How has science in modern day thinking overstepped its bounds?

Answer 1

A:Some believe that science has overstepped its bounds by not only making discoveries that call into question some core teachings of religion, but by allowing the public access to that information. Had scientists quietly informed the religious authorities of such information about the natural world, the authorities could have informed them when they were in error or managed the flow of information, deciding what we should know about and what should be covered up.

As the wife of the Bishop of Worcester said, after she heard about Origin of the Species: "Descended from the apes!" My dear, let us hope that it is not true, but if it is, let us pray that it will not become generally known."

Answer:

Science, especially physics, have advanced their theories so far ahead of their ability to prove them experimentally that they have to "believe" in something that can not be proven.
