You will partially be to blame for what happens when the pendulum of science swings back (hard) in the other direction.

You mean when we return to the next Dark Ages?

I suppose you are correct that all previous educated civilizations were eventually wiped out by superstitious tribes. It's beginning even now.

I guess it's because emotion is a much more powerful motivating force than logic and reason. The attraction of superstition is easy, anyone can do it, but study and thought are hard.
