Bill Nye is a practitioner of what C.S. Lewis referred to as “scientism,” not science. In other words, he uses a buzzword, “science,” to dishonestly sell a political movement, socialism. There is no actual science involved, just an unproven assertion that his political goal is somehow supported by science. It is not.
You may be thinking of FA Hayek rather than CS Lewis.
Friedrich Hayek wrote a great little book called “The Counter-Revolution of Science: studies in the abuse of reason”.
In it he describes what he calls ‘scientism’, a bastardized form of thought which imagines it uses the methodology of science in every sphere of knowledge. It can’t of course, and it runs into epistemological problems it can’t solve. Goedel’s Theorem and all that.
