In a course or section marked clearly "history of science", absolutely. As a viable, contending scientific thesis--not until it's a science widely acknowledged as such by working scientists.
As has been discussed earlier, mythology to the contrary notwithstanding, this process of acknowledgement is in large part, a political process. The way public institutions are governed is also based on a political process, one that involves ALL citizens, not a self-appointed scientific elite. Government by 'scientific' elites has been tried by both the Nazis and the Communists, and it does not work.
