Science is believed to be the best field given it's strong basis in logic, and proof of subjects.
It is the fundamental block of everything that we understand, and it puts the rationality in all the discussions.
However, as it evolved it grew into multiple branches and each of these branches started defining their own rational. This was largely due to the inexplicability of few aspects which were more qualitative in nature, and can't be measured in exact numbers/logic.
There was nothing wrong in it as the whole phenomenon was still developing but this give way for a lot of people pushing their own ideas to be approved as science.
The problem started when some of these people started propagating their hidden agenda in the name of science. That's how race science came into the picture. Something which started as to identify the differences between different cultures and nationalities ended up being the science of proving which one is better than other.
This was more like an anthropology or biology but the largest of the voices came up to prove their own justification or claim to genetically or otherwise inherited greatness.
The scientific community which was true to it's founding principles opposed any such deviation but there were a lot of powerful people involved to prove the things otherwise.
I believe that calling such differences in the name of science had more to do in terms of building that myth, and creating the acceptability of such ideas. This has nothing to do with logic, and reason. Somehow people ended up believing that if their ideas get some credibility as scientifically accepted truth than they can put some rationality in their stupidity.
Time and again they were proved wrong but they keep coming under different names. I don't see this stopping in the future given the line between the real and fake/made-up getting blurred day by day, and it will depend on the rationality of the people who choose to be or not be driven by these.
