Read the words I Used.
Scientism is a belief .
Science is a tool of limited scope.

Yet scientism makes science a the foundation Of the universe,
not a suit of clothes that touches and fits the bits we can see
Scientism is A strange God when that makes an idol of scientism.

Too often , scientism provokes atheists into promoting ideas way beyond true status.
Conjecture becomes hypothesis or theory.
eg There is no hypothesis for Abiogenesis and both the first cell(s) and evolutin to present minimum cells are an unknown. But that’s not what you read in supposed science books that now have become scientism.

Scientism is not a belief, it's an opinion, a claim. There is no such thing as scientism that is practiced, preached or prayed to.

So your opinion is noted and discarded. Such as with a lot of things you claim, it's wholeheartedly projection on your part.

Opinion. Noted.

Not doctrine, as you like to claim, but opinion.

Once that Mark is taken, they'd better treat it as a doctrine, or their buying and selling rights will be revoked.

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Real non-sequitur to what I said but what else is new from you.

Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

Notice what started out as deeds, ended up as doctrine?

Yes, I notice it.

It's still your opinion on the subject of scientism, nothing more.

I pray you're not here to experience the Mark.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

No, but I certainly have to experience your horrible attempts at preaching, that's for sure and it really does not make me want to even think about joining a Baptist church, certainly.

From the same link, this sounds more like an opinion:

With respect to the philosophy of science, the term scientism frequently implies a critique of the more extreme expressions of logical positivism and has been used by social scientists such as Friedrich Hayek, philosophers of science such as Karl Popper, and philosophers such as Mary Midgley, the later Hilary Putnam, and Tzvetan Todorov to describe (for example) the dogmatic endorsement of scientific methods and the reduction of all knowledge to only that which is measured or confirmatory.

How much of that do you agree with?

Your brand of science wouldn't be welcome.

And you'd feel very uncomfortable there.

You'd probably sit through every sermon either rolling your eyes or shaking your head.

You'd be better suited in a Pentecostal church.

I'd say more about how I really feel about all American denominations of mainline Protestantism but I'd probably get banned. Plus, it'd be super off topic.

I like to think, on Judgement Day, He will take some back in time and let them see for themselves how it went down.

But that's wild speculation.
I wanna go back in time, can I, can I pleeeeease!! Lol

Especially since we're not Protestants.

Yeah, you kind of are. Offshoots, for sure, but offshoots of Protestantism, so my comment still stands.

But again, this is wildly off topic and also I don't want to risk getting banned so I'll just say: I hold many American Christians in contempt and I'll leave it at that.

Roger that.

You're entitled to your opinion.

As well as mine.
