Someone recently didn't care for me pointing out that even mathematics so the science that it was dependent on isn't absolutely grounded in objective reasoning, Jeffrey Kaplan does a pretty good job of showing why the belief that is possible is truly naive and a denial of the best evidence. If math cannot be entirely enclosed within logic then the idea that physics can ever be finally settled in a theory of everything is absurdly fraudulent.
That is something that even as arrogant and insistent a materialist absolutist as Sean Carroll can be forced to admit, sort of, but it is like pulling hen's teeth to get him to do that.
