The report looks at “scientism,” the belief that the scientific method is the only way to gain knowledge and genuine truth.
“The title of the report,” said CTCR Executive Director Rev. Dr. Joel Lehenbauer, “reflects the foundational truth expressed by St. Paul in Colossians 1:16-17: ‘For by him [Christ] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible … all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.’”
In its introduction, the new report explains scientism as “a particular approach to science — the materialistic science which has become dominant since the Enlightenment, [as] the only way to gain knowledge. While a modest empirical approach sees science as a useful, but limited instrument to be complemented by the findings of other disciplines (such as literature, philosophy and theology), scientism claims that a materialistic paradigm of investigation has a monopoly on human knowledge. The consequence is that metaphysics, religion, and even traditional ethics, lose their cognitive status and appear vulnerable to * by more enlightened thinking.”
According to its “overview,” the report “aims to serve as a constructive resource for thoughtful Christian reflection on the complex questions arising from the intersection of science, faith and Christian theology. Each of its five chapters provides conceptual tools and examples that should aid Christians in forming a faithful response to these questions, and which it is hoped will encourage more young people to pursue scientific careers in full knowledge of the nature and significance of the scientific vocation.
