I know what you mean, that creationism and scientism are both a belief system. People look at all the evidence through their own set of glasses (world-view), and usually see what they expect to see.
However scientism in regards to vaccination is dangerous in the here and now.
Since nobody was there when the world was created/evolved to see it, it can only be a theory as real science is repeatable and observable.
However, there are thousands upon thousands, if not millions, of people repeatedly observing how a child or self goes in for vaccinations and damage occurs.
Yet we are always told that this is coincidence and that since some scientist says that it didn't happen, it simply didn't happen.
This is extremely dangerous to our children and future generations.
Scientism wants us to shut off our own observational abilities,
close our eyes,
and believe them when they say that it had nothing to do with vaccines.
That's a valid point, and I respect that. I used the YEC example because adherents to Scientism tend to mock those types of people, while commiting--as you have said--an oversight equally as illogical and much more detrimental.
Yes, absolutely!
They mock, thinking that they are better and that they are superior because they are scientific,
yet they only look at so-called science that supports their belief-system
which is that vaccines are safe and saved the world.
Any scientist or doctor or person that provides evidence to the contrary is a quack and the evidence is not considered. These brave scientists are basically "ex-communicated" for daring to question the 'church of scientism' authority.
