It seems to be to be rather a lack of ability to use, understand and appreciate logic. It's like logic and fundamentalism can't coexist, science has nothing to do with it.
If logic can't coexist with fundamentalism, then anything that involves the application of logic is going to suffer. Science involves the application of logic, so it suffers in the presence of fundamentalism. So just like I said, science suffers and you've helped to prove my point.
