The church of scientism has been with us since the Age of Reason. They dogmatically tell us what to believe without sharing the analysis of the data and if we critique their claims, even using their own data, they call us peasants too stupid and ask us to trust their experts. In geology they say that uniformatarianism is what we should believe because most of their experts do, in spite of underwater cities all over the world. In biology they tell us that because finches can adapt to environments with beak shape we must now believe that fishes can become mammals or lizards can become birds. With Covid they tell us that the data showed lockdowns were a good idea, but then when we examine it and say that is shows no such thing they call us misinformers or conspiracy theorists.
