Scientific Fanaticism

Scientific fanaticism is a term used to refer to a form of fanaticism that takes science (scientism) into zealot levels, seeking to use all possible arguments and tactics to defend scientism and put natural sciences as an absolute truth. Scientific fanaticism is also very common among several scientific dissiminators on Internet and it is considered as an advanced form of scientism.

"Scientific fanaticism is no better than religious fanaticism, take natural sciences as an absolute truth is literally like take a religious belief as an absolute truth. Scientific fanaticism and scientism are bad such as religious fanaticism and atheist fanaticism actually are, even that scientific fanaticism is just scientism being taken to the extreme."

"It's ok to be a fan of science such as be religious, spiritual, deist, agnostic or atheist. But one must avoid becoming fanatical for any of those, there's a big difference between being enlightened and being a fanatical, one can be enlightened for any of those such as one can be fanatical for any of those."
