A historican retrospective of the present

How will historians look back on our current stage of human history? Will our faith in modern science seem as ridiculous and incomprehensibly simple-minded as we consider earlier people’s unwavering faith in religion? Will some other cognitive system replace faith in science as science “replaced” religion?

You're late. David Hume destroyed the notion that Science = Access to Objective Absolute Universal Truths.

Scientists don't maintain the notion that what they do unveils universal truths that were originally unapproachable from Religion, instead they argue what they do is strictly empiricist observation to which they're culpable to fail at (and have done so in the past).

American Philosopher Richard Rorty writes about this extensively, in that this notion that science, religion and philosophy cannot grant access to any overarching universal truths is what creates a general sense of nihilism.
