It’s no secret that people today worship science. If you can show that “science” is on your side, you can add 100 bonus points to your cause. However, this emphasis on what is scientifically true is probably waning, given the post-truth culture that is forming. At any rate, this is a good article which explains why science has certain philosophical assumptions and why scientism (only science can give us truth) is self-refuting.
Even Science Needs More than Science to Work Properly
Very true, and I love it when people point this out. When people say science is the only/best way to discover truth is via science, that’s not a scientific statement but a philosophical one. Hopefully more voices will continue to point this out. Thanks for posting!
