The or the one?

"But she is more specific and constantly presents science as the one conception of the world immune to skeptical attack."

Is it ok to use "the one"?

Thanks,

Thanks for your answer. What if I say:

"But she is more specific and constantly presents science as (part of) the one conception of the world immune to skeptical attack."

Is it clear that I mean that sometimes she presents science as the one conception of the world, and sometimes as a part of the one conception of the world? Should I perhaps leave "one" out?
