"Of all the fads and foibles in the long history of human credulity, scientism in all its varied guises — from fanciful cosmology to evolutionary epistemology and ethics — seems among the more dangerous, both because it pretends to be something very different from what it really is and because it has been accorded widespread and uncritical adherence.... One longs for a new Enlightenment to puncture the pretensions of this latest superstition." — Austin L. Hughes, The New Atlantis, Fall 2012
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said,
Ye men of Athens,
I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
Acts 17:22
