What’s the coolest thing about science?

Not sure what you mean by "open-minded ideology" but yeah science is a useful tool to help us understand phenomenon in the natural world.
 
The scientific method for sure is the coolest thing because I love arguments and logic. The SM is the foundation

Darwin’s story is pretty amazing too

.....So we have little evidence on the effectiveness of peer review, but we have considerable evidence on its defects. In addition to being poor at detecting gross defects and almost useless for detecting fraud it is slow, expensive, profligate of academic time, highly subjective, something of a lottery, prone to bias, and easily abused.....
