Dr. Angus Menuge from Concordia Mequon will be speaking on Scientism, an ideology masquerading as science. We often hear today that a claim must be believed because it’s science. The assumption is that anything calling itself “science” has infallible authority. While good scientists are aware of the tentative and fallible nature of their models and predictions, many in our culture try to make science into a religion known as scientism. According to scientism, materialistic science is the only or best way to really know something, while moral and religious claims are just feelings or opinions. Tis exaggerates the authority of science and denigrates other ways of knowing. In reality, scientism is not science but rather a self-defeating philosophy. Science depends on non-scientific assumptions, and the validity of these assumptions is best supported by Christian theology. That theology shows how science is possible and why it is valuable, and it restores meaning and dignity to all of human life. Christianity, not scientism, is the best friend of science.
