On that you are wrong. The issue is what you call science is nothing more then Scholastic authority. It is not the scientific method. Its ideological theory masquerading as science that rejects any facts that tend to show its incorrect.

Junk science is not science. Arguing its science because you call it such does not make it so. That’s logical fallacy, bootstrapping, circular reasoning.

It seems you've found a weapon of mass disinformation you hope to use against science: just hand-wave anything you dislike as "Scholastic authority", or "circular reasoning" and presto-change-o, you can reduce it to "non-science" or "ideological theory", and your job is done!
Way to go big boy!
I mean, why should anybody bother with the hard work of presenting facts, reasons & conclusions in cogent forms, when all you really need do is hand-wave it away as "Scholastic authority"?

Of course, it is true...
The US Supreme Court was asked to rule, and did so, saying that for purposes of public education, only scientists, not anti-scientists like yourself, could decide just exactly what is, or is not real science.
In that sense, in public elementary & secondary schools, "Scholastic authority" does trump whatever false accusations you make regarding "circular reasoning", "bootstrapping", etc.
