This was generally my entire college experience. There were a few pockets of fresh air, like my philosophy classes. It was only after graduating that I started to notice people slowly coming around to the idea science is a useful, but not exhaustive tool, for developing ethical frameworks, world views, principles, etc. And the attempts to use it strictly to do so (the pockets of hyper-rational logic out there) leave much to be desired, at least in my opinion. What surprised me most was how often practitioners of science, not just those “for science yarr” types, got caught up in the whole thing.
