Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...
Romans 1:22
"This assumption [that scientific institutions have a peculiar epistemic reliability] is at best naïve and at worst dangerous. If any human
institution is held to be exempt from the petty, self-serving, and
corrupting motivations that plague us all, the result will almost
inevitably be the creation of a priestly caste demanding adulation and
required to answer to no one but itself. "
