Lawrence Krauss, the atheist activist and physicist, has made a name for himself among contemporary materialists by declaring that we humans are made from the refuse of burned out stars. Krauss triumphantly assures us:
The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements – the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution – weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be…

For me the strongest indictment of Scientism as a philosophy is the tendency of its advocates and devotees to descend into nihilism. Science and the scientific method are useful tools in understanding the natural world but they cannot be applied to the metaphysical.

Irreducible complexity seems to be the rule in nature yet we are suppose to believe that universe came together magically over time. Time and random chance replace God as the prime mover. I don’t know if such a view constitutes a religion, but it certainly isn’t science.
“….perhaps patronizing compassion is the only proper manner in which to deal with someone who boldly proclaims everything came from nothing, and that we are not made in the image of our Creator, but only from some left-over stardust.” Excellent summation of the utter irrationality of Scientism.
