English term or phrase: as if science supported
Battuta teatrale. Un uomo cerca di spiegare alla sua partner incinta cosa pensa delle sensazioni che lei dice di provare durante la gravidanza.

It's like you're explaining the most dangerous kinds of superstition as if science supported… as if it's some kind of way
forward for mankind.

La mia proposta:

E’ come se spiegassi il genere più pericoloso di superstizione come se fosse scienza dimostrata…come se fosse qualche specie di way forward per l’umanità.

Il senso della frase è chiara, ma non riesco a fornire una resa sintattica adeguata con quel "like" (come) all'inizio e quell'"as" (come) dopo. Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!
