It’s time for #Science to fess up, and admit our rational system of discovery is indistinguishable from any other belief system. So with thanks, gratefully join the pantheon of world #Religions!…(thread)..
As #rationalists, we worship at the feet of the Scientific Method. Our Holy Trinity are Newton, Darwin and Einstein. Our sacred texts are Principia Mathematica and the Origin of the Species...
But the writing is on the wall. Evangelicals long argued the Big Bang “Theory” cannot explain the universe before expansion, so a 14 billion year-old explosion is no more plausible than spontaneous creation by a Supreme Being. To which we wholeheartedly agree!..
What a relief to finally admit the truth …
Moreover, the #SupremeCourt no longer has to draw First Amendment lines in the sand! As members of the Church of Rationality, we naturally expect equal treatment with the other great religions…
We demand the government stops exhorting fellow citizens to play their Lucky #Lottery numbers. “Luck” is an insult to the sanctity of probability and statistics, and tantamount to establishing a state religion…
We refuse to apply the Laws of Optics when prescribing contact lenses to nonbelievers, as it helps them read the Bible, thus condoning a heretical belief system…
And of course, all labs, doctor’s offices and engineering departments now qualify for tax-free treatment, just like churches….
(Hey @elonmusk, not sure of the new rules. Do I have to click some kind of “satire” button before posting??)
