What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

[Pat Mustard]

I do find it funny that people keep having a go at science. Its like they are proud of ignorance. "Lets keep the world stupid, that way lies faith" they seem to say.

Science is how you discover the truth of things and as much as possible getting rid of bias in your observations.

Unfortunately for theists, bias is really all they have.

You are not clear on your definitions (and probably shouldn't mock people until you are):

SCIENTISM

Scientism is a term used to describe the universal applicability of the scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or the most valuable part of human learning—to the exclusion of other viewpoints. Accordingly, philosopher Tom Sorell provides this definition of scientism: "Scientism is a matter of putting too high a value on natural science in comparison with other branches of learning or culture."[1] It has been defined as "the view that the characteristic inductive methods of the natural sciences are the only source of genuine factual knowledge and, in particular, that they alone can yield true knowledge about man and society".[2] The term "scientism" frequently implies a critique of the more extreme expressions of logical positivism[3][4] and has been used by social scientists such as Friedrich Hayek,[5] philosophers of science such as Karl Popper,[6] and philosophers such as Hilary Putnam[7] and Tzvetan Todorov[8] to describe (for example) the dogmatic endorsement of scientific methodology and the reduction of all knowledge to only that which is measurable.[9] Philosophers such as Alexander Rosenberg have also appropriated "scientism" as a name for the view that science is the only reliable source of knowledge.[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism)

So, your comments are not based on anything I said nor accurately reflect...well...anything.

Steve, protip: When you qoute mine, don't link to where you're quote mining from because it confirms you as the shitty little idiot liar and slanderer that you are.

Even from the wikipedia article it is onvious that the term scientism has a secondary meaning, used by the opponents of knowledge (e.g. Austruan schoolers like Hayek or cratards like you), viz "scientism is a belief, and scientists evil because it refuses to take our beliefs into account despite the fact that we have nithing to support our beliefs".
