    The document discusses the topic of scientism and how while science has brought many benefits, it also has limitations and should not be the sole basis for understanding reality. It has changed civilization but does not always proceed in a straightforward way. Supporters of scientism believe that if something cannot be scientifically proven, it is irrelevant, but the document argues science is just one method of obtaining knowledge and does not preclude other explanations.

    Scientism

    If Ptolemy and Aristotle will be able to miraculously witness how the current world runs, they'll
    be astonished by the fact that humans can now understand the set of phenomena that puzzled
    them centuries ago. It's because human life is limited but the power of science is continuous; a
    grand ball of knowledge that expands as time goes by.
    The word "drastic" connotes a negative impression to everyone, but who wouldn't be thankful
    for the fact that science and technology drastically changed our means of communication,
    transportation, medication, and other things beyond ordinary human's imagination. To make
    the importance of science extra stentorian, it also became as our primary lifeline today where
    the stormy season caused by Covid 19 is still on its maximum flagellation.

    We continue to execute tough defensive protocols and strategies against the leverage of
    coronavirus, comprising quick and reliable diagnostic procedures, as well as set of tactics that
    limit the spread of the contagion. However, to be effective, these must be integrated with
    compatible offensive schemes against the virus, such as vaccine and medicine. Such schemes
    became possible through a rigorous process conducted by scientists as they have also
    combined scientific knowledge from previous infections with procedures infused by
    modernization. But due to complications, time restraint, and unpredictable side effects, science
    does not always proceed in an unambiguous straight line toward progress. Science is effective
    and reliable however some manifestations are leading to the conclusion that we can't rely
    solely upon the power of science.
    But, this is strongly refuse by the supporters of scientism, they believe that if something can't
    be proved through the scientific process then that specific variable is irrelevant. Many scientific
    theories are so well-established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially. Those
    who patronize and fall into the trap of scientism manifest that science is the only way to reality,
    a sole instrument of knowing how the world works. The potency of science generates an
    influential inducement for advocates of philosophical assumptions. These are people who
    resort to cloaking their principles and beliefs in the legitimacy of the scientific enterprise. This
    is where the power of science became ghastly.
    Over the last decades, the practice of science unveiled reality and utterly reshaped civilization
    in ways that have no precedent. However, science, by its definition is "pursuit and application
    of knowledge", a practice and method for asking questions used to cultivate answers. It's only a
    branch, and trees by their nature still have a set of other branches that generates fruit of
    knowledge.
    Great ability always comes with dangers and great responsibility. Some of the dangers that
    encompass this thinking is that since science is so good at providing explanations,
    explanations are all that matters. But humans have to understand that even our own
    deoxyribonucleic acid is too complicated that it possibly points out into an explanation that
    there is a Great Creator behind all the things that made humans wonder.
