Science is an All-Pervasive Energy

It is not clear to anyone, least of all the practitioners, how science and technology in their headlong course do or should influence ethics and law, education and government, art and social philosophy, religion and the life of the affections. Yet science is an all-pervasive energy, for it is at once a mode of thought, a source of strong emotion, and a faith as fanatical as any in history.

Notes:

A "faith as fanatical as any in history"... not sure I see the reasoning behind this quote.
