RE:Scientism the new religion of the ageThis is the preaching of a philosophy of ignorance. Pray tell, what would be your alternative to using science to make informed decisions?
There are certainly grandstanding figures who find sudden celebrity intoxicating but the vast majority are serious and academically well-trained individuals working away in their labs with an expertise most of us couldn't even imagine.
And by the way, the whole point of science is to test things out - and fail - before getting them right.
