Creation Moment 4/27/2023 - The Naïve & Dangerous Priestly Caste

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. 

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. "
