For far too long, the white lab coats worn in labs across the world have been believed to be the garments of the epistemic royal priesthood. It’s high time we cut this zealous cult down to size, thrust its ego with a little dose of reality. Science is not the end all be all.

The orderly nature of the external world
The knowability of the external world
The existence of truth
The existence of the laws of logic
The existence of mathematical truths
The reliability of cognitive and sensory faculties as vehicles for gathering truth
The reliability of cognitive and sensory faculties to source justified beliefs in intellectual pursuits
The potentiality of language to describe the world
The existence of objective moral values within the scientific enterprise (scientists should be objective and honest in reporting data from experimentation and observation)

However, based on the number and magnitude of the presuppositions of science, it’s not that difficult to see that science is only possible through the proper ordering of reality – something that science benefits from and for which it cannot account. Without first the acceptance of this order of reality, science is not possible. Science is not a king;
