‘Sciencism’ as Religious Fundamentalism

‘Sciencism’ as Religious Fundamentalism

Comments 0 Comment

‘Sciencism’ Is Religious Fundamentalism by Another Name “I know only one thing: that I know nothing.” -Socrates I’ve been reading “The Science Delusion” by Rupert Sheldrake, a timely treatise on fallible humans’ hubris. It ought to be required reading for all public school children, so that they may understand how little the authorities actually know about life on Earth, how it works, and what it means (if anything.) Knowledge is provisional. It’s multi-pronged. It’s contingent on the observer. And it’s…

A book for burning?

A book for burning?

Comments 1 comment

What we are seeing now has its pre-history. One of my great inspirations is scientist, Rupert Sheldrake, known for his theory of morphic resonance. What was, 25 years ago a crusty old editor of Nature is now a whole caste – and they do burn books and repress dissident scientific ideas. Sheldrake, who is in my mind still a young man, has now turned 80. It is tragic that there are no Rupert Sheldrakes in the making – they were…

In The Matrix? Cosmologist Explains How Humans Could Be Living In A Simulated Universe Beyond Perception Authored by Geraint Lewis via The Conversation, As a cosmologist, I often carry around a universe or two in my pocket. Not entire, infinitely large universes, but maybe a few billion light years or so across. Enough to be interesting. Of course, these are not “real” universes; rather they are universes I have simulated on a computer. The basic idea of simulating a universe is quite…

TRANSHUMANISTS MARCH ON. National Pulse, 6 September, 2022 A synthetic embryo with cells capable of forming a brain and a beating heart was developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge using mouse stem cells. EuroNews described the effort as “yet another success in the unfolding race to develop embryos from human and mouse stem cells.” The team, led by Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, developed the embryo model without using any eggs or sperm. The researchers used stem cells, specifically three types found in…

LOOKING AT THE SARS-COVID-2 VIRUS

LOOKING AT THE SARS-COVID-2 VIRUS

Comments 1 comment

Seemorerocks Nothing like a SARS-COVID-2 virus has been isolated from a patient or sequenced. Viruses have not been proven to cause disease Most of the time we take on information passively and we reach blanket conclusions with lots of assumptions. I come across this a lot talking to people who come out with ill-thought out statements that are without evidence but relate to previously-held views. I see this lot in what I may call conspiracy theory circles.  It behooves us…

Memory of water

Memory of water

Comments 0 Comment

About 20 years I became aware of a controversy involving the late immunologist, Jacques Benveniste and the weird methods used by the journal, Nature to debunk his research using a magician, James Randi. You can see the background to the story here. THE MEMORY OF WATER IS A REALITY The concept of the memory of water goes back to 1988 when the late Professor Jacques Benveniste published, in the international scientific journal Nature, claims that extremely high ‘ultramolecular’ dilutions of…

C. S. Lewis: Science and Scientism

C. S. Lewis: Science and Scientism

Comments 0 Comment

“Lewis reminded his readers that naturalism, determinism, and rigid empiricism all view man as a biological accident with no meaning and no unmeasureable qualities like soul or spirit. These philosophies presuppose that there is neither a God nor absolute truth of values. The study of humankind by sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists has reduced persons to things having minimal dignity or worth, having little or no individual responsibility for their choices and actions. In explaining nature and man, scientists have “explained…
