This kind of black and white thinking is exactly the problem though. Either science or mysticism.
Science will never be infallible, and in fact has strict limits on what it can know [1][2] - there's nothing to fix here, except the perception that fetishizes the scientific process as an infallible method for producing universal truths. This black and white perspective fails to recognize social and psychological biases that underlie scientific production and also lie outside its full understanding. The scientific method is a tool. That being said, we should of course strive to improve this tool.
The problem here is one of human perception. What goes for science goes for all things - don't believe the hype.
