Spoken like a Fundie attacking science (ie evolution) that they don't understand. Postmodern critique was/is used to uncover power and ideology in our knowledge production systems (epistemology). This is beneficial to science as it sheds light on prejudice disguised as science.

Do any of these critical methods address language games, meta-narratives or discourses (technical def)? (I'm wanting to listen and learn). I find these most useful in postmodern ideas & I'm not sure if any of the three critical methods you mention actually deal with these issues

It depends on what they are. There is certainly much linguistic work done, some of it branching off in other directions from Saussure and much breaking down of various narratives from a number of perspectives. PoMo looks at discourse in one way but nearly everything looks at it.

eg, postmodernism critiqued religious metanarratives but so did science. I think science did it better. Marxism can be critiqued as a metanarrative but rigorous statistical economics might work better. in the case of science, from Sokal & Bricmontpic.twitter.com/4TBk1ZOh5F
