So, in our culture, the view of scientists is especially favoured among encyclopaedia-makers, because they are supposed to have justificated their views by means of an elaborate dialectic process, not by dogmatic tradition.
Well, that is the theory - but unfortunately, that is not always the case, especially outside of the "hard sciences". Therefore, relying entirely on "scientific" stuff can lead into bad traps, too. (And mind you, I most certainly don't advocate any holy books should replace science here - merely facts.)
