I blame the lack of philosophical and logical training of the sort that teaches how to spot fallacies, what a good argument looks like, how to outline one's thought process, etc.

It seems even more is the understanding that other disciplines are useful for answering other questions; that science or the scientific method cannot be used to answer every question.
It makes discussions with people who feel this way nearly impossible because when coming up against questions science can't answer, they reject all answers because no scientific "proof" has been provided.
