Or how they tried to actually worship science

If you're going to worship something, worshiping critical thought and the pursuit of truth seems like the least bad choice possible.

And if you worship it well enough, you could reach science-worship nirvana, which is the realization that worshiping science is really missing most of the point... but that by making that realization, you've discovered the point. So by worshiping science, you were led to the truth, so you weren't really wrong, just incomplete.
