I’m just going to address your first point, what aspect of physics and chemistry are taught as dogmatic? I was science I was taught was framed as the consensus based on the preponderance of evidence not religious dogmatic based on authority. Maybe your experience was different but even in the catholic school I went to that wasn’t my experience.
We’re constantly taught about “the laws of physics”, etc., when no such “laws” exist. They’re simply well established theories. Likewise we’re told that physicists are discovering the “laws of the universe”. Etc. This is rampant throughout physics - not just in education but in all media, news, etc. It feeds into grifts like “AI” because people are used to sloppy, meaningless language. It completely undermines any scientific understanding.
(I don’t care/know enough about chemistry to comment on that. Probably more grifters using bullshit language to get funding.)
Laws is easier to say than well established theories :) seriously if you whole beef is simply the well established term i think you’re trying to hard to find fault

I wonder how they will react when they discover dictionaries and their brutal authoritarian chokehold on the words that make up language.
