For a somewhat narrow definition of culture, sure. For western culture, not at all since it is partly defined by the enlightenment and the scientific revolution. The scientific method, for good or bad, is part of the western cultural heritage. I think it is mostly for good as long as we re talking about actual science - based on the scientific method - and not The Science™ or one of the many 'critical' offshoots which are mostly intent on deconstruction. In short, science over religion whether that be one of the theistic religions or the "progressive" gnostic ones which are running havoc through academia at this moment. Objective theories over 'critical theories', scientific knowledge over 'other ways of knowing'.
