Science may care or not care but many scientists certainly care about philopsophy and let their philosophy influence their science.
That is true. That is why science monitors itself and corrects its errors. All of the scientists throughout the world are not in on some sort of plot to foist evolution upon the public. There is a reason for evolution being accepted. The scientist who can truly delegitimize evolution would be world famous and would be immortalized in the history books. Until that happens, I'm going with the theory.
