Speechless

Ok, so my cynical impression is that scientism seems to be butthurt contemporary philosophers and woo peddlers fearing for their relevance. It all smells like an elaborate way of whining about science being mean to their cherished beliefs. Meh.
Long gone are the days of Hume, it seems.

The above definition also kind of begs the question, saying that scientism is when science as a source of knowledge is emphasized too much.

I think that it is more about people who want to push science where it doesn't belong (category error). 

Begging the question requires an argument, definitions by their nature of defining something; I do find tend to beg the question if that is what you mean.

I actually consider that science doesn't give a shit about religion or any other myths ....

Its the religious that drag science into religion trying to prove their myths.

Then when the religious claim that science proves religion and then its debunked they cry that science has nothing to do with religion and should keep its nose out ....

And if you think I am wrong, take a look at the discovery institute, most of the religious on the AF forum, etc ...
