Scientism 

When science turns into ideology, religion and political interests. Rather than to allow people to object, criticize and dissect the subject in the pursuit of truth. If one study have been made it is by some seen as the holy truth and is unquestionable. Everyone questioning it are "deniers" or "anti" in some way or another. Scientism also say that the scientific method is perfected and there are no biases, corruption or economic interests in today scientific research.

There are people of scientism that believe that the first study is unquestionable and call people who criticize it for "deniers" or "anti". That the sciencetific method is perfected and that that it is the absolute truth

scientism

scientism 

Religion based on science.

Many fundamentalist Christians tell me that the world is six thousand years old. They say the Bible says so, indirectly, and they show this by comparing genealogies from Adam to Jesus. These add up to 4,000 years, and Jesus was born 2,000 years ago. I do NOT believe this because SCIENCE says otherwise.

Get REAL! Get SCIENTISM!

scientism 

The belief is that the scientific method and the assumptions and research methods of the physical sciences apply to their disciplines (such as the humanities and social sciences), or that those other disciplines are not as valuable.

The concept of scientism is complicated.

Scientism

The ideological belief that the natural sciences are the only reliable source of genuine knowledge, and that questions of meaning, value, and existence must be answerable by scientific methods or be dismissed as meaningless. Scientism goes beyond respecting scientific results; it elevates science to the status of a total worldview, often accompanied by hostility to philosophy, religion, the humanities, and any form of knowing that doesn't fit the empirical mold. While science is a powerful tool, scientism is a category error—mistaking one way of knowing for the only way.

Example: "He dismissed all ethical discussions as 'just opinions' because they weren't empirically testable—scientism, reducing the entire domain of values to a footnote in a lab report."

materialist scientism 

The current dialectic.

The idea that a progressively preciser measurement has a spatially wider context; in opposition to logical positivism.

Materialist scientism is left-wing scientism.

The idea that a precision measurement must be found; in contrast to a standard-of-measurement.
