Scientism

“The change Bolloré has described in the Spectator article is primarily among the emerging generations of scientists.” - Breakpoint

“most of these [Christian] beliefs contradict prevailing scientific accounts of history and the natural world. As a result, many Christians perceive science as a threat to biblical faith. They are mistaken. Scientism is the real threat, not science.” - TGC

“without this value (of upholding truth) the institution of science would soon sink into a morass of lies and deception. It’s obvious, but where does this value come from? You can’t prove it scientifically.” - Reasons

“Our diverse ways of seeing reality will never, and should never, meld into a monolithic worldview” - Scientific American

“…in addition to the traditional areas of scientific inquiry and expertise, such as chemistry, physics, and medicine, many now even look to science for guidance on moral questions—and many scientists and science boosters are eager to claim they can provide it.” - TGC

“Paul Gould’s new book Cultural Apologetics addresses these issues by setting forth a fresh model for cultural engagement, rooted in the biblical account of Paul’s speech on Mars Hill, which details practical steps for reestablishing the Christian voice, conscience, and imagination.” - Breakpoint

“Even the decision to embark on the scientific enterprise is underpinned by something preceding the scientific method: the reasonable conviction that there is truth, we can know it, and, above all, that it is good to know the difference between truth and error.” - Acton

“There is a double surprise in store for Aeschliman’s readers. It is alarming to learn how the rise and growth of a scientific culture has been linked with the most blatant subjectivism. It is a joy to be introduced to the ‘great central tradition’ of witnesses to the true meaning of words and defenders of human reason.” - National Review

“Theologians and ethicists, playwrights and lyricists, therapists and politicians, historians and pundits—like everyone else in society—all could have their say. But more and more, each would have to face up ultimately to the supposed precision of the scientist, who among them all seems to have a lock on reality, or at least on the tools for discovering reality.” - WORLD
