What definition of Scientism are you using? I'm going with this one

$1:

Scientism is the idea that natural science is the most authoritative worldview or aspect of human education, and that it is superior to all other interpretations of life.[1] The term is used by social scientists such as Friedrich Hayek,[2] or philosophers of science such as Karl Popper, to describe what they see as the underlying attitudes and beliefs common to many scientists, whereby the study and methods of natural science have risen to the level of ideology

I wasn't using that word, the quoted text are your words.

andyt andyt:

people on this forum love to accuse each other of trolling. If you think what I wrote previously is trolling, then you might must by too thenthitive to be on this forum. At least so far no net nanny seems to have followed up these accusations, so they're basically wasted keystrokes, is all.

I didn't think you were trolling, that is why I asked. There could only be two reasons why you would equate 'religion' with 'certainty' and one of them was because you were trying to illicit an emotional response (troll).

But, if you wish to be childish in your responses, so be it.

Are you sure you're not trying to elicit an emotional response here?

Yep, but in response to this post of yours:

DrCaleb DrCaleb:

There is no room for faith in Science. So, going back to "Scientism is just another religion . . .with ego at the head. . ." how did you manage to come up with such an amazingly incorrect statement?

Did you miss that I used the word Scientism, not science, or what is it you are calling incorrect?
