Get the scientist mug.SCI-EN-TISM-IST = Adherent of Scientism (Religion based on Science). Not to be confused with Mary Baker Eddy's CHRISTIAN SCIENCE or L. Ron Hubbard's SCIENTOLOGY.
Scientismists are usually atheists or agnostics. Sometimes they are members of mainstream religious groups, but, they tend to view the religion as being mostly a MORAL foundation, with God and Scriptural stories being symbolic rather than literal. "Cause & Effect" or "Action and Result" are common rules of thumb for the Scientismist. I avoid an action, not for fear of Hell, but to avoid the scientifically proven result of that action.

Get the Dirt Scientist mug.This is someone that can be described by one of the following terms: amateur scientist, basement scientist, backyard scientist, citizen scientist, do-it-yourself scientist (DIY scientist), hobby scientist, non-degreed scientist, self-educated scientist, self-taught scientist, kid scientist, or student scientist. This is someone who performs scientific experiments in their garage, basement or backyard, done as a student or as a hobby. This is in contrast to a professional scientist or expert with an actual degree in the scientific field in question, particularly those who engage in scientific research as part of their job and particularly those who experiment in a laboratory or other controlled environment.
“I worry about the garage scientist, about the do-your-own scientist, about the person who just wants to try and see if they can do it.”
