Science can impact beliefs and opinions only to the extent that the beliefs and opinions are based on repeatable observations of physical processes that can be subjected to experiment.

Does science ignore opinions?

Opinions are different than scientific hypothesis. A hypthesis is an idea that can (or at least we think can) be tested by the scientific method. Opinions can be anything... personal beliefs, religious ideas, dilusions... really anything and like all people, scientists can have opinions. Opinions really have nothing to do with science and because they are not scientifically testable, some may feel that science is ignoring their opinions.
