Welcome to the cult of /sci/entism, the dominant mental climate on this board.

Scientism attracts empty children in search of a new religion. They cannot stand uncertainty, they cannot stand doubt, they want infallibility, something to believe in. That is because the path to knowledge spells work and is always prone to error while belief promises certainty; and above all, it is for free.

Whereas Richard Feynman could say that "science is the culture of doubt", in scientism doubt and dissent are not tolerated and amount to the heresy of 'science denial'.
