Using science to solve problems *is* technology.  So if your first sentence is true, your second can't be.

We live in a world where science/technology has solved a huge number of horrible problems, and as you say, opposition to science still persists.

People are swayed by their emotions, not logic.  If you want to turn people on to technology and science, pointing at their mobile phones and central heating is no use.  You need to study how it is that god-botherers and insurance companies can thrive, instead.
