Good to know Captain Crybaby is completely unfamiliar with Karl Popper.
Science cannot include any matters of faith or other non-falsifiable assertions.
Jordan Peterson made a profound point on Chris Williamsonβs podcast.
When God dies, a lot of unexpected things die with Him, including science.
Science isnβt some purely neutral, secular tool. It rests on deeply religious assumptions: that truth exists, that itβs knowable, that pursuing it is good, and that the universe makes sense.
These arenβt scientific claims, theyβre metaphysical, rooted in a religious worldview. The universities themselves grew out of monasteries.
Without that deeper foundation, science eventually stops being about truth and becomes just another tool for power, ideology, or convenience. You lose the reason to be honest when the data gets inconvenient.
Do you think science can survive long-term without any belief in objective truth or a higher moral order?
