      "I’m a science journalist. I don’t celebrate science, I criticize it...science needs critics more than cheerleaders. I point out gaps between scientific hype and reality...as you know, most peer-reviewed scientific claims are wrong." A science critic after my own heart! https://twitter.com/jezhumble/status/1229154343636455424 …

      "Skeptics" are hypercritical of beliefs [ESP, homeopathy] and disbeliefs [climate change, vaccines, GMOS] that may "deserve criticism" but are “soft targets,” while neglecting "hard targets"—"dubious" and "harmful claims" of mainstream science—like that "humans are wired for war"

      Heretics are needed in all ages, and science, or scientism, is our religion right now.

          Science does know everything though. We just don't know all the science...

          Science is not a religion. It's a method. Methods don't need heretics, they need skeptics and scientists.

          That's why I distinguished it from scientism.

          If you think science is a "religion", then nobody in their right mind should pay you to write about science.

          I really don't understand what you're trying to say... it sounds like a pseudointellectual statement.
