I believe we have had a very rapid progression of how science is being treated by the layman from the Aristotelian "Logos" more towards the direction of "Ethos": Science is authority and is to be trusted, rather than speculated on and second guessed. "Believe the science" "Trust the science" And the most ridiculous of all: "The science is settled"
