Fr Yuri and Fr Geoffrey discuss the problem with the phrase "science says...", and both the good and bad sides of scientism.
Show Notes
In the last episode, Fr Yuri and Fr Geoffrey discussed science as a cosmic story and how that story relates to the Gospel. This week, they discuss the problem of the phrase "science says...". Scientific pursuit can be taken to an extreme, and thought of as the only way of rendering truth, in a sense proclaiming scientism to be a sacred authority in itself. Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri also speak about the positive form of scientism, which can be profoundly Christian, indeed!
