Fort argues that mainstream scientists are close-minded and conformist, only accepting beliefs that align with popular opinion. He compares their mindset to religious fundamentalists and suggests that science itself is a de facto religion. The book's early chapters explain Fort's thesis, including his belief that scientists used the eruption of Krakatoa as an explanation for a phenomenon they couldn't understand.

Critics argue that Fort lacks positive explanations for the phenomena he presents.
