No, there isn't a way to mutate science in such a way AND keep
consistent with the scepticism. Equality and respect seem to be
concepts which you consider as desirable, but you can't say a priori
that they are.

The only way to use science for this is to recognize that evolution
results in a relative favour of better functioning societies. Because
each species is aimed on survival of the species (if a specie wasn't,
it would die out automatically).

Maybe equality and respect are things which give a civillisation a
favour about others. Some care of the environment certainly does.
But research has to be done to find this out.
