science is still great. "scientific consensus" has taken over in many places where people used to mean "scientific method"; and thats not great but still fits into "believe the science" for the people putting logos on signs.

Science doesn't care what we believe.

The so-called hard sciences are still great. It's kind of hard to deny that an apple, when released, falls to the ground. Now let's go to the so-called soft sciences which rely upon statistical modeling. Whoa! We necessarily must rely more on "scientific consensus." We should be increasing the public's education in statistics since it's become so important for public discourse of important issues. But of course we haven't.
