All three of us feel the same way about eugenics, we've just ironed out a lot of terms and our disagreements are clearly just trivial things.
I'll just answer the OP's question of why people don't just trust in science. The reason people don't settle for the standard explanations given by science or religion is because they think there's something more to existence than that. They might explore deep into religion or science or fringe fields beyond the standard, guess and hypothesize and maybe discover new truths, etc. But all advances and discoveries begin with the ability to say "I don't believe it". There's many people in science and religion who tell you not to question sacred cows, and that's not a virtue like the article the OP linked suggests, instead it is like having your mind trapped in a box, and not good for human progress.
