I think we bow before the god of science because when science presents information it tends to do so with lots of evidence gathered from thought, experimentation and conclusion. (I am aware of the scientific process, so please don't get all pedantic about terminology.) Objects fall at a rate of 32' per second, and that rate increases until the object reaches terminal velocity. Of course, it's wrong. And observation will tell us that despite what the formula says. One just has to think about it. To demonstrate that, I just stood on a table and dropped a round metal object from as high as I could hold it. It went maybe 16', not 32'. So, so much for blind trust in formulas.
