If science has not become a cult why do people get triggered if you don't believe the standard model?

Scientism is a thing...thats the cult-like overconfidence lots of people display about scientific understanding while ignoring the downfalls and weaknesses (like how science is good at explaining some things but cannot explain everything and there is SO much we don't know).

Sincerely, someone in the sciences.

I will say though, I see this attitude so much more online, coming from "not actual scientists" aka reddit neckbears than I do in academia.
