Default Re: Why did we stop inventing gods?

Ah! That old chestnut. There is stuff you do not understand, therefore science is a kind of religion!

Rather than saying: some of the hypothetical solutions we are working with seem counter-intuitive to me at the moment and I do not really understand them anyway, and this makes me doubt their veracity because I do not like things I do not understand as they force to me to face the limits of my own knowledge and intelligence.

If scientism was a real problem, then we would not be getting ready to launch a satellite dedicated exclusively to checking some of our current ideas about the distribution of energy in the universe.

Of course the Chinese already have DAMPE out there as well. The dark matter / dark energy question is getting a lot of attention and we are just about to find out a whole bunch more about it. Interesting times!
