Is Science Living up to itself?

Ever heard of the Piltdown man?
In 1912 a team of archeologists & excavators led by Dr.Dawson found pieces of skull in a quarry in Piltdown in England.... later in the year they found more tooth and bones...they carefully assembled it.... to make what was the missing link in Darwin’s theory.

Darwin had long killed Adam & Eve- he had told us we humans were from monkeys.... a bitter but real theory.... Darwin’s theory had but one missing link. Man couldn’t have been born to a monkey overnight.... he must have slowly evolved, like the monkey to man pictures we have seen in science books. But till early 20th century, no one had excavated any fossils proving the theory...

Dawson's team had had found the missing link- they called him the Piltdown man Eoanthropus dawsoni , they assembled him carefully and showed him off to the world as the monkey-man...the more recent ancestor.... that too, when imperial England was spreading its power across the world, they had the affirmation they wanted- our ancestor was British & hence they had all the rights to all humans in the world...

In 1950s, long after The Piltdown man came into science textbooks and even discoverer Dawson had expired, a group of scientists figured Piltdown Man was a hoax.... the recent developments in science had helped newer tests to estimate dates for the pieces of Piltdown man & they proved that it was all a bloody hoax.... the biggest of science's hoaxes...

My submission is as follows: Science is essentially a logic based belief system...you believed in all that science told you because it had enough support.... but what has happened over a periods of time is, our belief in science has become so blind that we believe anything science tells us.... For a subject that stood for beating the superstitions, has it become a birthplace of superstitions & blind faith itself?
