A short time ago I came upon a social media post by someone with an “atheist” handle. He put out an unexpected terse comment in a thread about space science. It was meant to mock Christians: “Christians pray to man-made gods”. So, I responded.
His defense of such a claim and against the scientific claims I had made toward evidence of a creator, which included fine-tuning and the anthropic principle, was based on quotes from his man-made gods: Neil deGrasse Tyson and Sam Harris. He ended our back and forth with a dismissive comment.
I relate this to show that scientism – “the opinion that science and the scientific methodare the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality” (Wikipedia) – has become the defense strategy in cosmic trials deciding “What is true and who says so”. A recent cosmic trial involving the COVID, nee influenza, pandemic, saw the scientism strategy used to defend the criminal takeover of humanity with its appropriation of “What is true and who says so”.
A man who declared “I am the science” – Anthony Fauci – was the star witness for the defense. On the stand Fauci said “The science” was behind everything he said and did. And that’s why he was “calling the shots” about how COVID should be handled. And though substantive claims had been brought against the “The science” triggering a trial, unprecedented action by the court prohibited witnesses for the other side to take the stand to support their claims.
Extensive amounts of scientific evidence to the contrary had been blocked from the trial, including the Great Barrington Declaration. Key plaintiff witnesses, including medical doctors and pathologists, who would testify against the claims of “The Science” were threatened with loss of licensure and censored. Outside the courtroom they were labeled “science deniers’ and “conspiracy theorists”.
The jury wasn’t sequestered. Its members watched the mainstream media where COVID was presented 24/7 as a public health crisis and “The science” as the world’s savior. They heard that obeying “The Science” would lead to “flattening the curve”, “ending lockdowns”, and its vaccine would “stop COVID in its tracks”. Under that influence and the fear of the same repercussions the key plaintiff witnesses suffered, the jury ruled in favor of Fauci’s “The science made me do it.” They ok’d a power grab by the local, state, and federal government and the CDC, NIH, and Big Pharma.
As a result, people were told what to do with their bodies, their relationships, their social activity, their businesses, and their churches. And they were told, in essence, that science and the scientific method, in the hands of a select few, was the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality. As a result of that, power and wealth accrued for the winners of scientism’s trial.
Is there a “Climate Change Crisis” is the next cosmic trial and the outcome has already been rigged in favor of science and the scientific method in the hands of a few. Expert witness testimony opposed to the defense’s “Climate Change Crisis” propositions will not be given a hearing. The media is on the payroll of “Climate Change Crisis” defense team.
The truth about the world and reality is being altered with opposing testimony being censured and the promotion of a climate change “consensus”, a consensus that is based on crystal ball climate models generating position papers often paid for with grants that expect a certain outcome if more money is to flow. And though TV meteorologists forecast weather only 5 or 7 or 10 days out, climate activists predict apocalyptic events in terms of years. Reality is being altered with an environmental version of the Late Great Planet Earth.
With a looming “catastrophe” on the horizon, the climate cult has been hard at work making climate converts – young people who will catastrophize about a climate crisis.
“How dare you!”
“Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that prompts people to jump to the worst possible conclusion, usually with very limited information or objective reason to despair. When a situation is upsetting, but not necessarily catastrophic, they still feel like they are in the midst of a crisis.”
Getting young people to catastrophize about man-made climate change will motivate more money changing hands for wind farms, solar panels, and a lot of other undisclosed causes, including financing dictators. You see, climate scientism is not about the climate. It is about wealth redistribution. It is about taking tax payer money and throwing it around (no doubt for a cut). Those involved will defend their actions: “The science made me do it.”
“If they were honest, the climate alarmists would admit that they are not working feverishly to hold down global temperatures — they would acknowledge that they are instead consumed with the goal of holding down capitalism and establishing a global welfare state.”
(OTTMAR EDENHOFER, UN IPCC OFFICIAL): “First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole.” (Emphasis mine.)
Scientism is readily used by manmade gods who believe they have esoteric knowledge to commandeer reality, and therefore human life and property, for their clever ideas.
“Systems have arisen in history where science ceased being science, yet nevertheless operated under the guise of science. As [Eric} Voegelin identifies, these include, but are not limited to, Marxism and National Socialism.” Gnostic Scientism and Technocratic Totalitarianism • Patristic Faith
Scientism accepts that evolution’s “survival of the fittest” explains the struggle for individuals and societies and that it explains all phenomena of the physical world and man’s agency politically, economically, psychologically and socially. Central planning attempts to direct “the struggle” with scientism-endorsed ideology.
Yes, scientism – “the opinion that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality” – turns out to be the explanation for treating human beings as lab rats in social engineering projects. Scientism’s mutations of Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” led to eugenics, sterilizations, and exterminations in the past. Scientism’s manmade gods will lead us down the same paths.
Science and the scientific method in the hands of a few who are linked to globalism (WEF, WHO) and linked to the medical-industrial complex, the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, the climate-industrial complex, and the bio-industrial complex will bring about the “Great Reset” thereby altering the human race and the landscape with its “truth about the world and reality”. And they will say in their defense “The science made me do it.”
Nuclear power is a carbon-free and a safe energy source. Do you hear it promoted by climate-change activists? Consider that in order to use renewable energy to power the United States with all of the EVs being proposed, that about half the land area of the U.S. would need to be covered with solar panels, wind farms and electric grids. (The Sierra Club would love that! Not!) Nuclear plants take up small land areas and supply vast amounts of energy. See France’s nuclear program, for example.
Nuclear power can certainly arrest manmade climate change while producing huge amounts of reliable electricity. But it seems that scientism’s climate change gurus do not want the problem solved. Maybe, they want to revise the world to their liking using the climate change/renewable energy scam. Maybe they want the Great Reset to be scientism’s answer to all things.
“A non-profit organization called the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) boasts that their mission is to “raise funds for and make grants to the disruptive nonviolent climate movement.” This effort has been extraordinarily successful.
In 2022 alone, they gave away $5.1 million to 44 “ultra-ambitious” groups. Many of these groups are in the business of illegal vandalism, and some are most definitely not “non-violent”.”
“There are many reasons why grid experts within the electric utility industry have not spoken out when unrealistic “green” goals were being developed and promoted over the last 20 years or so.”

Federal executive officials entered the act too. Not just with emergency immigration decrees. They deployed a public-health agency to regulate landlord-tenant relations nationwide. They used a workplace-safety agency to issue a vaccination mandate for most working Americans.
They threatened to fire noncompliant employees, and warned that service members who refused to vaccinate might face dishonorable discharge and confinement. Along the way, it seems federal officials may have pressured social-media companies to suppress information about pandemic policies with which they disagreed.”

Secular humanists cannot turn water into wine. “Fundamental transformation” and “Build Back Better” are their stated beliefs that they can. To show authority over creation, Progressives coerce humanity into accepting all kinds of don’t-believe-your-eyes change. For instance . . .
They’ve changed the definition of vaccines. They’ve changed the definition of gender. They’ve changed the definition of marriage. They’ve changed the definition of women’s sports. They changed the definition of recession. They’ve changed who’s responsible for the double-digit inflation. They’ve changed the definition of racism. They’ve changed legal immigration to illegal immigration. They’ve changed history. They’ve changed perceptions about the Ukraine-Russo war. They’ve changed concerned parents of school children into “domestic terrorists”. They’ve changed blind justice into a one-eyed social justice monster. They’ve changed science into scientism. And, they’ve changed humans . . .
It appears that the secular humanists at the FBI have fundamentally changed the DOJ. It appears that FBI agents were involved in coordinating J6 and making it look an insurrection for political purposes. (Why didn’t Pelosi and the Capital police secure the area as Trump requested?) It appears that the FBI set up J6. And it appears that secular humanists don’t give a damn about people.

Previous posts have exposed the false either/or thinking of Epicurean philosophy and its now universally subverting High-Horse Mal-ware, a mal-ware that bifurcates mankind’s worldview.
At ‘ground level’ there is science, scientism, facts and secularism. In the attic are God, religion, values and meaning. Richard Dawkins and other angry atheists such as the former Christopher Hitchens, both keenly Epicurean, would opine “There’s probably is no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy life. Here is your ground game: avoid pain, seek pleasure and BTW there is evil in the world therefore God must be AWOL.”
The “Great Divorce” bus? vide C.S. Lewis
The Epicurus “High-Horse” Mal-ware landed on the shores of the New World ready to create a new saeculum- a new age. Thomas Jefferson declared himself to be Epicurean. Look at your dollar bill: ANNUIT CŒPTIS NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM=“Initiate the new world order”. The new world order of America was to become the Enlightenment’s gift to the world-Governor John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill” (1630).
Mankind in this New-Age-New-World, already exposed to “High-Horse” mal-ware, was thought by many to be made of random atoms which materially evolved without any help from above. Ergo, mankind would just as ‘freely’ determine its fate via scientism using a co-opted and modified European/Westphalian system of order (17th century) while keeping God at attic’s length. The pilgrims did inject a belief in an Epicurus defined fear-mongering God but their distant “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Deist God would later only be mentioned at funerals and never mentioned on resumes. (I realize that I am summing up at lot in a short post.)
Now that you have heard about the Epicurus “High-Horse” Mal-ware you will begin to see its effects in every day life. For instance…
Recently Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a potential 2016 POTUS candidate, was asked if he believed in evolution.
“Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a potential U.S. presidential candidate, on Wednesday declined to say whether he believed that humans evolved from other life forms, a theory widely supported by scientists but rejected by many American voters.
“That’s a question a politician shouldn’t be involved in one way or the other,” Walker said during a question-and-answer session at Chatham House, a London think tank…
…When asked by the moderator whether he accepted the theory of evolution, Walker also declined to answer.
“I’m here to talk about trade, not to pontificate,” he said. “I love the evolution of trade in Wisconsin.”
Scientists widely agree that humans have evolved from other life forms over the course of millions of years, as English naturalist Charles Darwin first proposed in 1859.
But the theory of evolution is rejected by many evangelical Christians, who view it as conflicting with the Bible’s story that the universe was created in seven days.
More than four in 10 Americans reject evolutionary theory and believe that God created humans in their present form, according to a Gallup opinion poll conducted last June. Creationism runs strongest among older, more religious and less educated voters, the survey found”
Wow! “less educated voters”!! Talk about pompous “High-Horse” Mal-ware social manipulating scripting!
The intent of this line of questioning reported here and by other high-horse trolls was to expose Walker as intellectually weak: “Are you a “down-to-earth rational being who believes in science and evolution or are you another one of those silly Christians who believes in Creationism created by an AWOL god?”
The interviewer was hoping Walker would click on the “High-Horse” mal-ware message, make a fool of himself with a reply and then get spammed by the media. The question (Obviously I can’t read the interviewer’s mind but the question itself in this context was meant, I believe, to divide ‘rational’ believers in Darwinian evolution and materialism from the silly ‘superficial’ believers in a Creationist God.) The intent also, as I see it, was meant to contrast those who consider themselves really really smart, proud of their belief in scientism, Epicurean in their default cynicism against those who (in the interviewer’s mind) hold ‘silly’ religious “God is not dead” views. And, this question was posed to divide Walker’s base constituency of Christians. There are those who still hold to a young earth literalist Creation and there are those who have moved on with science and accept theistic evolution. These latter Christians accept that the first two chapters of Genesis are poetic in nature and are not to be interpreted as literal. These latter Christians also accept that these two chapters most definitely give us God’s perspective on mankind’s origin and purpose–Humanities 101.
Here’s another similar post ‘taken over’ by “High-Horse” mal-ware:
“Scott Walker Humiliates Himself On The World Stage By Dodging A Question About Evolution”
Walker was asked if he was comfortable with, and believed in evolution. It was a simple question that made the Wisconsin governor look like a fool, “For me, I’m going to punt on that one as well. That’s question a politician shouldn’t be involved in.”
Moderator Justin Webb of BBC Radio4 took Walker to task, “That is a question any British politician right or left wing would laugh and say, “Of course, evolution’s true.”
Gov. Walker replied by digging himself in deeper, “To me, I’m here to talk about trade, not to pontificate about other issues. I love the evolution of trade in Wisconsin. It’s going really well, and I’d like to see it even bigger.”
The implication being here, if I may, that “you are way too stupid to govern you silly little man, Scott Walker, if you don’t agree that science is the court of last resort and far superior to any irrational belief in a god.” “High-Horse” mal-ware defaces truth once again.
The interviewer’s question not only echoes Epicurus but also a Garden of Eden questioner. Remember the Genesis account of a ‘serpent’ speaking to Eve in the Garden? “Did God really say that you could not eat the fruit of that tree?” This could be taken as, “Does God really get involved or care or even know about your daily life? He shows up now and then. And what about that rule “don’t eat the fruit of that tree”? Would a ‘good’ God deprive you of the pleasure of ‘that’ fruit?
Epicurus would later answer (supposedly), “No, don’t deprive yourself. In my opinion even if there was a god he wouldn’t mind if you took your pleasure in the fruit of that tree. And is there a god? Men do evil and no good god would allow it. Let go of your fears. Go on Eve “Let It Go”, eat it. Any more questions?”
Now, if I were Scott Walker in that situation, my response would be, “Yes, I accept theistic evolution-a finely tuned theistic universe, a personal cause of the universe and a theistic objective morality. Science is only one of several tools for understanding the material world we live in and it won’t supply meaning. Science does not prove or disprove whether there is a god but it most assuredly hints at there being an Omnipotent Outsider. And.…(deep breath) I also accept the historical facts of the birth of God Incarnate–Jesus Christ, His “Sermon on the Mount” life among us for thirty years, Christ’s death on a cross, and his bodily resurrection. I accept the historicity of each of these facts. And, (another deep breath) I accept that all of this was done so that God could set up his Kingdom here on earth among men in order that He could make the earth righteous as he is righteous by redeeming and reconciling His eagerly awaiting creation to Himself. There will be no more bifurcation of heaven and earth. Any more questions?”
As I write this the U.S. is one nation under Epicurus, but not for long. The kingdoms and rulers of this world will soon be under submission to the One True God-The Lord Jesus Christ. This King of Kings and Lord of Lords shall reign for ever and ever.

“Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local leaders imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes.
They shuttered businesses and schools public and private. They closed churches even as they allowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on. They threatened violators not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions too. . ..
Federal executive officials entered the act too. Not just with emergency immigration decrees. They deployed a public-health agency to regulate landlord-tenant relations nationwide. They used a workplace-safety agency to issue a vaccination mandate for most working Americans.
They threatened to fire noncompliant employees, and warned that service members who refused to vaccinate might face dishonorable discharge and confinement. Along the way, it seems federal officials may have pressured social-media companies to suppress information about pandemic policies with which they disagreed.”
