Scientism

November 1st, 2005 by Funky Dung

science_religion.jpgWesley J.Smith, author of several books including Consumer's Guide to a Brave New World, agrees with me in thinking that when science becomes scientism, it becomes very much like a religion.

The post itself is little more than a link to an article, but the comments are quite interesting. A raving and drooling commenter (who reminds me of someone…) "debates" with Smith. It's quite amusing.

    Scientism is just one form of foundationalism, for which the answer can only be fallibilism.
