There might be a number or reasons for why people hate science, probably the most common of which is that people don't really understand what science is, and might equate it to a religious way of thinking that competes with their deeply cherished religious beliefs.

People also blame science for some of its bad results, such as nuclear bombs and think that science will ultimately lead humanity to extinction.

Many people are also scientifically illiterate, and so see little use for it. Science sadly has alienated most of the population even though information is easily accesible online.

People may dislike science for various reasons, such as finding it difficult to understand, feeling intimidated by technical language, or disagreeing with certain scientific findings that challenge their beliefs or values. Additionally, some individuals may have had negative experiences in science classes or with scientists that contribute to their dislike of the subject.

Why do so many people hate science?

Well, your question is somewhat uninsurable since it is such a generalization, but there are a few key reasons to why someone may "hate" science. For some people it is threatening and somewhat scary because it does not care what people want, it only cares about what is true and sometimes the truth is disturbing. For instance people who are believers in christianity are often opposed to science because it may lead them to realize that there is no judao christain personal god which means that the purpose of life is much more debatable and there may be no real purpose at all. Some people such as myself, find great solace and joy in this idea while others are scared and feel lonely. Religious, dogmatic people hate science because science often opposes and disproves their beliefs and it is extremely troubling for them because science is not someone's opinion, but rather the best explanation and predictions we have for explaining the way the universe works. Part of the hate, is really a misunderstanding. What I mean by this, is that people think that science is just made up and people that wear glasses and lab coats collaborate to decide how things are going to be when in actuality this could not be further from the truth. Like I mentioned previously, science is not open to opinion but is the study of what is real and what is true and provable with evidence. Some people may hate science because it is limited, at least as of now, to what it can and cannot answer. For example science is currently unable to explain what dark matter is or what dark energy is, it also cannot explain what came before the big bang so people seeking complete knowledge may not like science because science is unwilling to make predictions about things without adequate evidence. Sometimes people just hate science because they view it as difficult or hard to understand and are too lazy to put in an effort which really prevents them from understanding the true importance of science. This reluctance to learn science and realize it's importance can lead to distain for science because they don't fully understand why it is important or why they should care about such things. In other words these are people who live by the idea that ignorance is bliss. As somebody who is greatly devoted to science, reason and understanding, I think that to hate science is to hate the reality that is our universe... Hope that answers the question. I know there are many other reasons people may hate science, but these are some of the main reasons that are the most common.
