About minute 34:28:
WHAT IS SCIENTISM?
--The application of scientific methods to social and political modeling.
--Science is the absolute and only access to truth and reality about man and the universe.
--It is specifically opposed to the Bible as truth.
--It believes there is no God (atheism)
--It is predictive, able to foretell the future.
--It rejects any inquiry that does not agree.
--It demands acceptance by non-scientists
I don't recall if a buddy was merely an early user of the term 'scientism' or if he coined the term or was one of several who coined the term independently 2-4 decades ago.
If you dig around on Vox Day’s website he also gets into scientist and a couple of other terms; a more complete description.
So what is a practitioner of this black art called? A scientist? Scientismist?
