The religion of Scientism also has it’s dogma, doctrines, high priests as gate keepers of the truest truly true truth etc. etc. etc.

Not at all. There is no religion of "scientism", and there are no gatekeepers. In fact, the scientific community in general makes great efforts to bring more people into our community. We try to engage kids at school and do our durndest to ignite that spark of curiosity which drives people into science careers. I can think of no other career where one has the opportunity to routinely discover new things that no one else has ever found before.

"There is no religion of "scientism", and there are no gatekeepers."

Of course there is. Philosophical naturalism is the religion of scientism. The gatekeepers are the peer-reviewed publications that are committed to scientism.

1. TRY publishing a professional journal article that does not please the gatekeepers . . . the Bishops of the Religion of Scientism.

2. TRY publishing a book that does not please the Bishops of the Religion of Scientism.

3. TRY publishing a book or journal article that does not please the Bishops of the irrational Religion of Scientism & THEN TRY and get tenure.

4. TRY publishing a book or journal article that does not please the Bishops of the idiotic nihilistic Religion of Scientism and THEN TRY and get a promotion.

5. TRY and get hired in most higher ranked universities with a reputation of even seriously questioning the irrational nihilistic Religion of Scientism.

6. However, it is good to know of the hostilities in the camp regarding the Judeo/Christian construction on reality. Sometimes, it turns up important. Perhaps rarely for physics issues but certainly for sociology, psychology etc.

7. BTW . . . how is it that you believe that so many original Bible Colleges woke up on a Monday morning and decided to be ruled by the irrational nihilistic Religion of Scientism and the globalist cabal instead of the Christianity of their founders?

8. It is Sad, however, to see those conservatives that still seem uninformed of the realities of our era:

12. "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

14."To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas." - Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization

15. "We are not going to achieve a New World Order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." - Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 'The CFR Journal Foreign Affairs', August 1975.

18. "No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation." David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

published in 1844 called Coningsby, the New Generation 22. "In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. "An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

38."The case for government by elites is irrefutable" Senator William Fulbright, Former chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated at a 1963 symposium entitled: The Elite and the Electorate - Is Government by the People Possible?
