Jessica,

Thank you for your comments and concerns. Pr. Moerbe is addressing the idolatry of science. As you note, we can make idols of everything. We can make idols of politics, materialism, athletics. He didn't address those idols as he was specifically addressing science. There is a proper place for science, but when we "fear, love, and trust" in science above God, it has become an idol that needs to be uprooted and removed. That's Pr. Moerbe's primary point in writing this article.
