What is Scientism? "Scientism" is a derogatory label of the "scientific method"
Either means that the Scientist can track their physical Statement WORLD3 back to the physical world WORLD1 which is the causal agency AT the creation of WORLD3 which is all that is perceivably manmade in this respect, which is mostly the written word, the statement.
The Scientist REJECTS any attributation of "causal agency" to the "world-of-thoughts" WORLD2 which is nothing else than the properties of matter.
The properties of matter are mere illusions. It is only KANT who akknowledged, that "space" and "time" are illusions - unfortunately he did NOT akknowledge that "space" (volume OF matter that is) and "time" (age of matter FROM a change that is) are nothing else than properties of matter, together with a lot more other properties of matter, like mass and energy. I am the author of the listing which summarizes the properties of matter in 4 lines. Nobody will find this listing ANYWHERE.
WORLD2 = mere inside-brain effects-, perception-hoods, thoughts-, awareness-, consciousness-, Knowledge-, concepts-, descriptions-, properties- = subjective truths- = opinions-, epiphaenomena- = illusions-,
ON-, OF-, obtained/acquired FROM-, ABOUT-
outside-brain causal agency aka Facts; the physical; object[IVE Template outside the brain], matter, the cosmos.
WORLD2 is comprised of
1)ALL sensations, emotions, values, necessities, purposes, wills
2)ALL numbers, constants, parameters in the language of mathematics and physics,
mass, distance, area, space, time, velocity, acceleration, force, pressure, power, energy, temperature
3)ALL laws, of legislature, of logic, of morality, of physics
4)ALL those and ONLY those G-Ds we DO [mean to] know, like YHWH, J(the)C and Allah.
Scientific method: Accepts that you cannot demonstrate a causal agency of ANY of the Elements of WORLD2 as listed above.
Religious method: Claims that at least certain Elements of WORLD2 -
A)be entities in independent existence outside the brain rather than fabricated inside the brain
B)be causal agencies
