Scientists are like prophets, in a sense. Their credibility rests on their ability to make accurate, verifiable predictions. This bridge will collapse under that weight, this comet will arrive at such and such a date, etc. Relying on appeals to authority is a non-starter, particularly in science.
Scientism is a religion and it forced Christianity OUT of the public square decades ago—totally removed Free Will (choice) from our children by the 70s to force their religion (faith) and embed their emotions/desires into our children to flip (erase) 2000 years of history to create Inca mindset (feelings only with inability for abstract, profound “thinking” and the Wisdom of the Ages).
Why? Because Christianity is the basis of Individualism and Free Will and Individual Natural Rights from God only (collectives can’t have that!!!)l and the psychopathic, sodomite elites want control of all—”herd” mentality in the masses to destroy human instincts of male/female-—remove mystery/dignity/worth, so we are easily managed, controlled and killed when for the “public good”. Group-non-Think only-—no ability for critical thinking which ONLY comes from reading the Great Books, including the Bible, and/or living an extremely long productive life.
The Nazis were funneled into science by the 40s in America to take over all institutions of “science” and “research” to control, warp, dehumanize the masses and control Words/Language so they could make everything meaningless so they could flip Good and Evil in short order. (Without Virtue (Wisdom/Knowledge/Courage/Perseverence) civil society will collapse—Socrates/Plato/The Founders).
Most perfect “Justice System” is the Christian Ethics system—created the most Just, moral, equal cultures of all time which included the dignity of male/female Natural Instincts-—didn’t emasculate males or destroy and denigrate the natural instincts in women/motherhood. (The sodomite elites are Malthusians and hate mankind (Satanists)).
Scientism is a religion and the scientists are the “High Priests” (just like in Satanism) (a faith/belief system) and it NEVER has the “Truth”with a capital “T”. It is NOT superior to Christian Worldview which is the ONLY HUMANIZED (individuals/unique identity), RATIONAL FAITH in the history of the World—that is why ONLY Christian cultures created the Renaissance and true freedom and a Middle Class and Modern Science. But humility, and understanding God’s Design (Natural Law) is essential to REAL science. Scientists today IGNORE Truth and Reality for their Marxist irrationality where Slavery is Freedom and Boys can be Girls (lie).
It pretends it is superior “faith” to Christianity, but it is ONLY Christian Worldview which created the Age of Reason, Modern Science and US Constitution (most perfect “justice” system for ALL. Scientism reduces man to godless dog-—to be used as a Means-—mutilated, sacrificed (for the masses), etc. It is total dehumanization of the individual/identity.
Science has suffered from politicization in almost every area of inquiry.
It gets worse every year. In addition, scientific competence is waning, in my view. Read an article recently (Scientific American?) that a huge percentage of peer-reviewed studies simply cannot be replicated. We are in trouble on every front.
