The insidious attacks on scientific truth https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-insidious-attacks-on-scientific-truth - a regrettably arrogant, scornful, and snide piece by @RichardDawkins
Yes, there is a lot to criticise in positions that treat science as just one of many 'ways of knowing'. (Especially now when we see how much real-world harm such positions can cause)
And many of those positions are frankly ludicrous and easily mocked. That doesn't, however, seem like a rhetorical approach that is likely to persuade.
Moreover, it ignores the absolutely valid observation that all science is founded on some underlying philosophical commitments.
Logic and reason based on empirical observation from carefully designed experiments are great - but they will not reveal 'truth' if your starting premises are flawed
There's a middle ground between rejecting outright the validity of the scientific method and thinking that scientific inquiry in any given field is free from philosophical or metaphysical assumptions
