It is used to provide narratives that seek to give an objective answer to the “why” questions of life as well as moral dispositions.

It has a priestly class and clerical structure. Authority is derived from compliance with a university (instead of a mystery or seminary) and laity are considered unfit to come to conclusions without being dictated to.

It has its own dogma. (Empiricism, methodology) It thrives off of being “settled science” (as the major figures constantly say) and it is anathema to go against the grain.

It competes with other religions.

It is an act of faith to trust in published science or the integrity of scientists. All the laity has is second hand documentation (similar to a shamans OBE)

Most importantly it is a tool used to control and manipulate the commoners.

The similarities never end!

Checked and true. They lie to themselves that they found answers or they will find them because they fear chaos. Then on top of this is the tempting arrogance of being better than the religious.
It's all us lying to ourselves in various ways to keep life going and fulfil our destiny.
Can't be blamed, chaos is not for everyone.

Here’s the quickest way to explain this to somebody
>science is ultimately a belief system because scientists only collect and analyze data that they already believe to be important
>if data isn’t presupposed to be important to the scientist, it goes uncollected

>Myth is the experience of a thing
>Science is the technical explanation and function
They say the same things. Find your symbolic mind and you'll find the truth.

No, it isn't, and that is why you confuse it for a religion.
Science is a problem solving method that involves detail and places high value on replication. That's it.
