sciencism
The world view that accepts conventional science as dogma.
When Ignatz said that the Big Bang Theory countered any notion of intelligent design, I replied that this was sciencism.
sciencism
The inexpert, flawed and sometimes intentional misuse of scientific method to explain anecdotal evidence in order to foment fear of actual scientific discovery or progress and to promote confirmation bias contrary to fact.
Janet placed the key on her neck and said to inquiry panel members: "If the vaccine doesn't fill your body with magnetic crystals, then explain why this key sticks to my neck. Huh?" The key promptly falls off her neck. Janet does not realize that keys are generally brass and won't actually stick to a magnet because -- wait for it -- brass is not magnetic. The key sticks to Janet's neck at certain angles because of perspiration, similar to the spoon-on-the-nose trick kids do at Thanksgiving gatherings. Janet has resorted to sciencism to justify her reasoning for not trusting vaccination against the pandemic.
