Science, The Religion
"Science can be dirty. Science is wonderful. Science is what we have." - Unknown
"Science" is the magic de jure. "Science" is a religion who's priests dress in white laboratory garb instead of black frocks. "Science" is the calming balm dispensed to the pseudo-sophisticated so they can confirm their self-sanctity.
"Science" is a logical misstep that equivocates the scientific method with "science". It is a misstep that leads backward into superstition and paucity of conception that is the very antithesis of that what the worshipers of "science" desire.
"Science" professes to offer certainty, and in so doing it circumscribes reality. "Science" locks truth into narrow, ordained channels. "Science" snickers at the Hegelian ungrund, the abyss of eternity that is absolutely indeterminate subjectivity. The "unknown unknowns" that lie outside consciousness. Science is only a religion.
"Scientific method" is the opposite. It does not promise certainty. It is a way of looking that is open to adjustment. Rather than snicker at the "unknown unknowns" it acknowledges and welcomes them."
