Scientific Fundamentalism

Scientific Fundamentalism

Dear Hank,

I'm thinking of starting a fundamentalist movement - 

The Science Fundamentalists.

We believe in the truth!

(of course)

and the truth is revealed to us through fact!

(of course)

And those facts are revealed to us through evidence!

(of course)

And that evidence is examined and corroborated by others who reach the same conclusion via repetition of the same experiment or observation!

(of course)

And we change our conclusions, and our views, based on new evidence!

(of course)

and we do not accept false evidence!

(of course)

be it based on lies, fairy tales, superstitions, fears, books written by: scholars, priests, god or others claiming to know the truth (unless they can prove it to be true)

The saint of this new order is Sir Isaac Newton.

The John the Baptist role is taken by that of Galileo.

That is all, I need to go fishing:)
