Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them.
Romans 1:19
"This assumption [that scientific institutions have a peculiar epistemic
reliability] is at best naïve and at worst dangerous.

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. "
