That would not be science. People (or minions) don't give science it's power the same way people do for a Church.
You mean like religion is sold as essential for the preservation of your soul? Nobody who understands science is going to 'buy' something they don't understand or can't be proven.
This is not science. Science only REQUIRES you follow the scientific method as a matter of ensuring integrity of the science being done. . . .
Reason and critical thinking are required for science. Facts that anybody can check for themselves (with enough time and money) are the backbone of science. Emotional decisions are not part of science.
If the hypothetical ET comes wowing us with new unbelievable technology, scientists will be the first and loudest dissenters. You will not convince them without providing scientific facts about said technology and allowing us to reproduce or reverse-engineer ourselves whatever ET brings to wow to confirm the science behind it is real.
Science is not 'emotionally intense' in my experience. Most science itself is boring, the excitement comes from understanding the implications of new knowledge. Figuring out how to make CPUs smaller and more efficient isn't real exciting until you're using a new iPad.
Emotions don't drive science. Seeking facts drives science. Science puts a lot of weight in being 'published.' This is so that other scientists (and even YOU!) can repeat the experiment EXACTLY the same way and get the same results, just in case you think something is a lie.
Science doesn't promote promiscuity. That is a moral position that you have to decide on for yourself. You either have sex with a lot of people or you don't. . . .
Paradigm shifts happen when the old way becomes irrelevant. Paradigm shifts can't be stopped by even the established 'old way' people in control. Most paradigm shifts come with an 'it's about time' attitude.
It's ironic that according to you when science is TURNED INTO RELIGION is deadly. It's not the science, it's the RELIGION.

Evidently you haven't studied such things for 45+ years.
Your loss.
Your lack of understanding and perceptivity.
Time will tell how that works out for you.

I'm aware of your mind-set and the intense RELIGIOUS FERVOR that you espouse it with.
You may be aware that a Supreme Court case years ago affirmed that atheism IS a RELIGION.

I was talking about studying globalism.
Christ hated religion, too.
Religion has been defined as man's attempts to reach toward God.
God reached toward man in RELATIONSHIP via Christ.
My contention is that the corrupted distortions and manipulations of science by greedy, power-mongering, etc. "scientists" has morphed far too much of even authentic science into a type of religion.

Could anyone please show us anything along these lines? Thank you kindly in advance.

The... ''New Temple' is the "Smart Phone". Bigger and beyond and above anything before it: by leaps & bounds. And all the children today would be self-stigmatized to not embrace it. Game over (which gets real sick when one contemplates these "Freemium" games which is the total phone game model, and thats what all the kids are growing up on nowl...).

I'd have thought that you were aware of an Asian country called . . .
China . . . where I lived for a number of years . . .
Further, I'd have thought that you'd have been aware of the massive security state using all manner of modern scientifically based inventions to monitor, control and abuse the populace with--particularly those not marching lock-step with the Party line.
Sounds like an amazing lack of awareness, to me.
