THE CULT OF SCIENCE
The New Atheist writers have become the high priests not of science but the cult of science. Science is not always directly empirical. Science is not governed by absolute, immutable laws. Science, far from telling us we can know everything, tells us that there are things that we don't know. Science affirms the complexity and mystery of the universe. Science, like the religious impulse, opens us up to a world where we face mystery.
