Re:Why “Trusting the Science” Is Complicated by arrosenberg on Wednesday October 13, 2021 @02:00PM (#28855366)
That's pretty much why I added it! I've known a lot of scientists who fall in love with their research a bit too much, and some of our most important scientists have been pious Christian monks and Muslim scholars.

My point is that the central dogma of science is to be skeptical of existing thought and to update the model. The central dogma of most religions is to preserve tradition and be skeptical of challenges to existing thought.
