Scientism Fails Another Defense (March 12, 2017 | David F. Coppedge)

A physicist’s latest attempt to justify scientism reveals a deplorable ignorance of history, logic and philosophy of science.

"Tom Solomon, astronomer and physicist at Bucknell University, makes a valiant attempt to defend scientism (the view that ‘science’ is exceptional and superior to any other search for knowledge). In his article on The Conversation, “Scientific theories aren’t mere conjecture – to survive they must work,” he begins by expressing his frustration at public distrust of Big Science.

Etc. Etc."

Interesting article. Might want to check it out.
