Separating Science from Scientism (Part 2)

Separating Science from Scientism (Part 2)

Atheist Richard Dawkins claims that "scientists get to work and solve problems" while those of faith offer nothing to help advance humanity. Stephen Hawking says the universe doesn't need God; it can make itself. What these famous scientists have in common is a belief in scientism, not science. With all the talk of “trusting the science,” it becomes crucial to learn the difference between what is knowledge and what is a faith statement that eliminates all other forms of knowledge. Lenny shows you how to recognize scientism in our latest podcast.
