Other than people just wan to against the science, there are also people who mislead people using all types of scientific terms, especially to those who weak in science.
Consider 2012 or doomsday,
we can find alot of articles talking about how true it is.
But along the article, we can find alot of scientific terms supporting how disaster happen,
and we wont know how those terms actually work.
While we can see alot of beleivers of 2012 and keep increasing all the time.

Is there anyway to make these people to embrace logic and reason again to actually contribute to humanity trough science?

What else do they want from science? Science already gave them happiness, longer life, cure to many diseases, making life easier by technology such as machinery and many more.
Science is already easily assessible, people just choose to ignore it since there is an easier escape, God.

I have the same question but unfortunately, it seems many just ignorant about how science actually revolve around them.Science is already easily assessible, people just choose to ignore it since there is an easier escape, God.

Speaking of how science revolve all around us, we have to know that:
- We eat medicine when we get ill for faster recovery, or go for operation for serious injury; we can pray to recover faster but our condition will get worst if we dont go through medical recovering.
- We have to use vehicle to transport to one place to another; we cant just pray and hope that we can reach one destination, and in the next moment, tadah, we are there.
- We all know that people come and go in this world. Sometimes we hope that people will stay on in this world but we all know that praying or not, those who have to go will still go. Consider a terminal patient with last stage of cancer. Those who dont go after praying or not, always has scientific explanation.
Even all of us understand that science and logics work all around us,
sometimes people just dont wan to accept that but choos to throw away their rationality to think that those reasons are just lied and excuses to against the idea of someone much omnipotential on the above.

Anyway, it is fashionable to position science as diametrically opposed to religion. Science is supposedly anti-religion. It's one or the other. Either you believe science or you believe religion. I do not think this is reasonable. You can believe both, you can believe neither, or you can believe parts of both.
Science is not somewhat anti-religion at the first place.It just that when there are too many theories and facts against the concept of religion,
people tend to get offended and against science and everything related to it.
Many even go as far as thinking that science is another religion, those who believe in it are just lack of intelligent like others.

at first I can't believe the fact that there is still human that don't believe in science.
one of the reason that give rise to this situation, i think, is the failure of education.
what is being taught is just not enough.
in science text one is never taught 'you must believed in what you learn in your science classes'
they just learn it like any other subjects, such as moral?
learning it doesn't mean necessary to practice it,
and too little they get to learn in school,
what they learnt are just simple facts, which I think is not enough powerful enough to establish science as the central believe in them.
to them science might just as well be like religion,
and you can choose between different ones to believe in and practice.

I know there are lot of people who distrust science can actually score a good grade in science, as well as people who got a good grade in maths says that problem solving is rubbish methodology.
