Science is a process that deals in hypotheses, not set-in-stone, unchallengeable truth. From Paul Rosenberg at freemansperspective.com:
I don’t oppose science. In fact I advocate for it. But it’s also clear that “science” has been turned into an idol, and then into a social weapon. I’m going to explain briefly how that happened.
But before I do, I want you to understand what idolatry really is. Whenever you hold something above critique – above reality – you place it as your god.
Here are two important quotes on the subject, the first from Oliver Wendell Homes, Sr., and the second from Erich Fromm:
Men are idolaters, and want something to look at and kiss and hug, or throw themselves down before; they always did, they always will; and if you don’t make it of wood, you must make it of words.
The history of mankind up to the present time is primarily the history of idol worship, from primitive idols of clay and wood to the modern idols of the state, the leader, production and consumption – sanctified by the blessing of an idolized God.
Please try to retain these concepts somewhere in your consciousness; they are important to the human future.
