"Rigid adherence to scientism—as opposed to a healthy respect for science—is all too prevalent in our world today. Rather than leading to a deeper understanding of our universe, this worldview actually undermines real science and marginalizes morality and religion." "In this book, celebrated philosopher J. P. Moreland exposes the selfdefeating nature of scientism and equips us to recognize scientism’s harmful presence in different aspects of culture, emboldening our witness to biblical Christianity and arming us with strategies for the integration of faith and science—the only feasible path to genuine knowledge."
That’s true, there is a lot of misuse of science today. Some consider it like a religion, literally. Others try to use it thinking they can disprove the existence of God, which is impossible according to the scientific method itself. All in all, I think too many atheists misusing science have spoiled the broth, so to speak.
Science versus scientism, good distinction. We see a lot of scientism these days: Human fetuses are mere blobs of tissue, man-made global warning boils the ocean, we are evolving into gods, etc. Creepy stuff.
