Scientism

Scientism is the view that science and the scientific method are the best or only objective means by which people should determine normative and epistemological values.[1][2] While the term was originally defined to mean "methods and attitudes typical of or attributed to the natural scientist", some religious scholars (and subsequently many others) also adopted it as a pejorative with the meaning "an exaggerated trust in the efficacy of the methods of natural science applied to all areas of investigation (as in philosophy, the social sciences, and the humanities)".[3] The term scientism is often used critically, implying an unwarranted application of science in situations considered not amenable to application of the scientific method or similar scientific standards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism I use it more in reference to cargo-culting of bad scientific method....
