You're completely misrepresenting OP. They're saying that they believe science is a good thing, not that it simply exists.

The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.

Very interesting read, but I'll disagree with the last line. There is a vast amount of information communicated face to face which simply can't be translated to the written word, and so very important cognitive tools which have evolved over millions of years simply don't function the way they're built to function. If you look at some of the most celebrated intellectuals ever, like Socrates, you'll find that they never actually trusted the written word. My own ancestral culture literally forbid recording knowledge in writing, trusting only the spoken word.
