Welcome @q36 !
I think I agree with you, but I can't be sure until you tell me more.
Science (the enlightened rationality) is, in my opinion, nothing more than a new religion for people to embrace. But what is this spell ?
I'm waiting for a more detailed post on this subject !
Thank you @algo.coder!
While science is not just a new religion for people to embrace, the religious or mythological aspect of science, which totalizes "science" to the exclusion of other kinds of knowledge, is very close to what I intend to discuss. However, we have also to ask what is the nature of a religion. It is more than a mere group of beliefs. I intend to show that science, while capable of yielding true knowledge, is nonetheless guided by something of a religious or mystical nature that is probably best characterized as a spell. I will explain in due time.
I agree with you. When I told science is the new religion, it was more about it claiming to detain the only truth and excluding other kinds of knowledge as religion did it for centuries (as you perfectly told, english is not my native language so I can have some troubles making my points perfectly clear).
I will follow you, waiting impatiently for your explanations ! You picked my interest.
