SCIENCE vs RELIGION – The Battle of Religious Fanatics!
It’s funny to watch…
How people with a SCIENTIFIC worldview OPPRESS People with a religious worldview…
And they don’t even understand that all of this is merely – a dispute between two specks of cosmic dust, whose illusions are MORE IMPORTANT…
That is, the confrontation is not waged in ESSENCE or TRUTH, but in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of those mired in mental masturbation about their own fucking awesomeness, the sin of PRIDE, which has gathered into a clique of those calling themselves the “SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY”! Supposedly giving them the RIGHT to humiliate dissent…
And the funniest thing is – this whole “pseudoscientific crowd” is simply BELIEVERS in a different GOD – SCIENCE!
Now let’s try to compare…
What’s the difference between:
Mathematical Axioms AND Religious Commandments?
School, Institute AND Church?
Textbooks on Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. AND The Bible, various Gospels?
Divine Revelation AND Results of “reproducible” experiments?
Patriarchs, Prophets, Saints AND Nobel Laureates, PhDs, Academicians?
Energy of the Creator AND Dark matter/Quantum uncertainty?
Baptism, Circumcision AND Dissertation Defense, Publication in Nature?
Temple, Monastery AND Institute, Laboratory, Hadron Collider?
Cassock, Turban AND White lab coat, Turtleneck sweater and glasses?
Apocalypse, Last Judgment AND Heat death of the Universe, Climate collapse?
Inquisition’s pyres for Heretics AND Commissions on pseudoscience, “cancellation” on social media?
All of this – read in the Second Edition of the book “FUCKING NOTHING!”.
• Laboratory AND Altar: How is a scientist bent over a microscope different from a monk bent over a manuscript? Both are searching for “meaning” in structures they did not create. The only difference is that the monk acknowledges the Authorship, while the scientist pretends that “it just randomly turned out that way by itself” (which, you must admit, requires much more FAITH than acknowledging the Creator).
• Grants AND Tithes: The mechanics of system survival are identical. For the “temple” to stand, the flock must pay. In science, the flock is the taxpayers, and the prayer for a bountiful harvest has been replaced by a grant application for research into “the influence of Hee-hee-hawing on vacuum density.”
• Nobel Prize AND Canonization: The process of recognizing “one of their own” as a saint. If you sang well in the choir of the “scientific community,” didn’t rock the boat, and cited the right prophets (Einstein, Hawking), you get inscribed in the annals. And just try to challenge a “saint” afterward – they’ll peck you to death just as they would for doubting the Immaculate Conception.
• The Problem of the “Primordial Code” (Big Bang vs Fiat Lux): How is “And God said: Let there be light” different from “The Singularity suddenly fucking exploded and expanded”? In no way! In both cases, you have a “Zero” point where no rules apply, and you must simply BELIEVE that everything came from nothing. Science calls this “initial conditions,” religion calls it “Faith.” But both stand before this point with their mouths agape, like infants in front of a closed Disneyland.
• Glossary as Protective Magic (Terminology vs Incantations): If you say “Exorcism,” people will laugh at you. If you say “Cognitive restructuring of maladaptive schemas,” you’ll get a grant. The joke is that you’re doing the same thing – trying to expel from the interauricular ganglion the “glitches” that prevent you from living. The scientific community simply invented longer words to make them harder to pronounce without the appropriate “license.”
• Citation Indexing vs Holy Relics: What does a modern scientist jerk off to (forgive me, you can’t take words out of a song)? The Hirsch index. This is pure necromancy! You must cite the “dead fathers” for your text to gain power. The more you are cited, the more “grace” you have. This is no different from a pilgrimage to relics: you venerate Academician Ivanov’s paper – and your dissertation is immediately healed of logical holes.
• Experiment vs Miracle: “Reproducibility of an experiment” is the main prayer of the pseudoscientific crowd. But if you don’t belong to the “caste of priests” and don’t have access to the collider (which is essentially a giant 10-billion-euro censer), you still BELIEVE them on their word. They told you the Higgs boson exists – you nod. They told you the Holy Fire descended – you nod. You’ve seen neither. You simply chose which “church” to entrust your taxes to.
• Tech Support for Reality (Prayer vs Prompt): People used to whisper into the void: “Lord, make it so I have everything and nothing happens to me for it.” Now they write to AI: “Generate a success strategy for 2026 for me.” The essence hasn’t changed! They are looking for an External Subject to solve the problem of their own emptiness for them. Both rely on “Magic,” the interface just changed from an icon to a touchscreen.
• Dissertation Committee vs Church Council: What does a modern degree candidate jerk off to (forgive me, but terminology requires precision)? The Higher Attestation Commission’s Approval. This is pure liturgy! You must gather a “council of elders,” read your “creed” (the abstract), and if the “spirit of science” (the secret vote) descends upon them, your paper acquires the sacred status of “Candidate of Sciences.” This is no different from ordination: without the signature of the “Patriarch” (the Chairman of the HAC), you’re just a layman with a smart face.
• Peer-Reviewed Journals (Q1-Q4) vs Degree of Holiness: Getting into a first-quartile journal (Q1) is like receiving the status of “Great Martyr” during your lifetime. Your text becomes “holy scripture,” people begin to pray to it (cite it), and you automatically join the entourage of the “saints.” If you publish in the “Bulletin of Podunk,” it’s like being a rural deacon: you’re technically in the system, but there’s little grace, and grants don’t stick.
• Presentation of Results vs Confession: Before bringing your “truth” to light, you must confess before your colleagues at conferences. They must “read you the riot act” (ask tricky questions), and if you stand your ground and don’t renounce your formulas, it means you’ve passed purification and are ready to meet the Synod.
That is, the so-called Adherents of Science attended School,
Institute – the Church, where the Preachers of “SCIENCE” – the teachers – shoved in the “holy scriptures of the Fathers”: Einstein, Euler, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Leonard Euler, Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Antoine Lavoisier, Richard Feynman, and so on… And 99+% of that knowledge was accepted on FAITH! (you didn’t verify it, after all)))))
And all this idiocy – is somehow called Common Sense and Logic))) heh))))
Of course, I could still smartly slap on Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, but you perfectly LOGICALLY KNOW that it’s useless to prove to “religious fanatics” the inferiority of their “worldview”…)))) and you are among them… HEH))))
You consider Muslims to be religious barbarians, but in essence, you are no different from them)))) And you are waging the same kind of “religious war against the infidels”))) heh)))
Well, and.. Gentlemen “Believers in SCIENCE,” as you like – in conclusion, and it’s not comforting…
Your level of intelligence, thinking, knowledge, logic, and so on, has FACTUALLY turned out to be insufficient to see your complete identity with what you deny… There is even a scientific “medical term” – for what this is called)))) Should I say it? Or will you yourselves come to “understand” what your vaunted Intellectual superiority is worth?
And FACT, as is known, can be Accepted, Refuted, or Ignored)))))
So, what will you do? Heh)
Scene in an Odessa Courtyard: The Final Diagnosis
(Madam Tsiperovich stands in the doorway of the Lamed Institute, wiping her hands on her apron. In the courtyard, there is dead silence, only the “adherents of science” convulsively clutching their calculators.)
Madam Tsiperovich: — Sasha, I beg you, stop tormenting them already! Just look at these faces – they’re about to get formula indigestion in their stomachs. They thought they were the crown of creation, and you showed them they’re just children who, instead of dolls, play with “objective probabilities”!
Fima (quietly): — So what is this called, Sasha? Cognitive dead end?
Madam Tsiperovich: — Fima, shut your mouth and don’t disgrace my gray hair! This is called “Cognitive dementia of pride”! It’s when you believe so strongly in your own exclusivity that you stop distinguishing Ohm’s law from the commandment “thou shalt not commit adultery.” Sasha, just give them the term already, let them go home and cry into their diplomas! Hee-hee-hee!
P.S. I do not pretend to the ULTIMATE TRUTH, I’m just HONEST with myself…
