"人们想保护自己的虚伪;他们知道自己撒谎和操纵,但他们把自己的信仰说成是科学。"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people do things they know are wrong, like lying or tricking others. However, they don't want to admit or show that they are being dishonest. To cover this up, they pretend that their false beliefs are actually based on science or facts. For example, imagine a person who sells a product that doesn't really work. Instead of admitting this, they might say it is backed by scientific research, even if that’s not true. By doing this, they try to appear trustworthy and knowledgeable, hiding their real intentions. It's important to be aware of this behavior because it helps us understand that not everything presented as 'science' is honest, and we should be careful about what we believe without checking the facts ourselves.
