As someone that is very much into science, I agree. That's why one of my favourite albums of all time is "Dear Science" by TV On The Radio. It's very much a critique of scientism and a critique on the "corruption of science", if you will.
If you've watched Breaking Bad before you've probably heard this song from the album already, but it just sums it up perfectly.
One can only hope, and he does seem to be really losing it lately.
But I have a strong feeling that the "death professor" referred to in the song could be Oppenheimer, which makes sense if you see the song as describing the progress of science towards a nuclear detonation, from the barely controlled locomotive (steam era) to the static explosion of a nuclear warhead.

Exactly, as the song says about the fetishism of science:
