Can science ever win?

And by win I mean against the type of personality that gets immediately riled up when you suggest that the story they have about that one time their session at a chiropractor cured them where medical science had failed might possibly have another explanation. Because anecdotes are based on emotion, and emotion seems to be so much stronger than the intellect when it comes to forming opinions, can we ever as a species get past our crazy?

I'm not sure anyone can win over views like that. Unfortunately the only way to defeat such thinking is early in life. It will take generations of dedication to education to improve the current condition of the United States.
