  3. Science is a modern fairy tale, a construct of language, a discourse, a narrative, which could also be deconstructed.
  4. Science serves alone to the maintenance of the patriarchy.
  5. Science is against god.
  6. Science is just an arbitrary collection of statements, the opposite is also true.
