Have you met the Scienticians?

Scientician is a new word I came up with to describe the people you see on Twitter who have a new faith, a new cult, a new dogma.

Here are their beliefs:

1: You must only accept science as truth, or fact. You are a foolish idiot if you accept any other kind of evidence for the existence of God, souls, etc.

2: Even though science may be wrong on anything at any given time, you must view and treat science as if it is infallible, and never be suspicious or disrespectful toward it.

3: Even though science has made huge blunders in the past, you must accept the "current truth," as though it were absolute, until the consensus of peer-reviewed scientists change their minds. Then you must abandon the "old truth" for the "new current truth."

4: Science may have flaws, but it must be accepted as true, because it is all we have, and the ONLY method to gain truth.

5: Science can never provide truth, because science can change anything at any time. Nothing is set in stone.

6: The laws of nature have ALWAYS remained the same, and they never have changed, and never will.

7: Science is superior to religion because science is based on FACTS, while religion contradicts itself and changes its teachings all the time.

8: Science is superior to religion because science progresses, changes, updates, and corrects itself when it receives new information, while religion never does change, but ALWAYS remains the same.

9: Only physical things exist. There is nothing in all of existence which is not physical.

10: Anything from history must be rejected unless it has contemporary non-religious writings in support of it.

11: The dating methods used by scientists may be incorrect, but if you don't accept them as truth, you are a stupid moron.

12: Philosophy is a joke science. A lower class, which doesn't provide evidence of anything, even though science and logic are actually PART OF philosophy.

13: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence -- let the "Argument From Personal Incredulity" be damned!

14: You must accept all claims of scientists for what happened in history, but if you accept what historians say about history, you're STUPID!
