Science is a worldview.
Religion is a worldview.
People who ascribe to a particular worldview tend to look at other worldviews and say “Mine’s better”.
In my experience, Believers usually have an ability to shrug and say, “We see things differently”, while Materialists expand upon the initial thought by saying, “Mine’s better — and you’re an idiot.”
Religion is a worldview.
Not exactly. Scientism is a world view. Science has to do with the physical world. It has nothing worth hearing about anything beyond that.
Metaphysics and the possibility of a spiritual world are beyond the competence of science.
Scientism is an abuse of science by freighting it with metaphysical baggage -- specifically, the assertion that nothing exists beyond the physical world and that the universe made itself.
True religion does not forbid science to exercise its proper function in its own sphere. I know an astrophysicist who's also a Jesuit priest. No contradiction.
