I could present much more extensive evidence to show without much doubt at all that Science is being used as a religion to the populus, but in most cases, such evidence involves extensive thought and education before the conclusion can be drawn. That means that those thoughts are a bit useless on a forum like this.
I considered going through a long explanation as to what it really takes to legitimately consider someone to be paranoid, delusional, or any signs of being an unthinking “crackpot”, but that takes too much explanation. Xunzian’s “test” can easily be exposed for the fraud it is with such prior education.
But there is one thought that is fairly simple;
If you look at the Stopped Clock Paradox and examine it for logical presentation and evidence of supernatural, magical, or fantasy speculations, does it appear to be presented rationally? Actually I expected that to be what anyone would do as they merely took on the challenge of resolving it. But even without attempting a resolve, does it appear to be irrationally presented? It takes no real physics or higher math to understand it. It sets up a simple situation wherein relativity demands certain results. But if those results are true, then the clocks have to both stop and also not stop. Thus by using relativity, a logical paradox is presented.
For three pages, PhysBang, Calrid, and Xunzian spouted pejoratives concerning me, yet not one shred of thought actually went into the actual setup or following logic posted in the OP other than to say, "SR doesn’t work like that, you are “ignorant”, “insane”, “mentally ill”, “crackpot”… Creating ill repute was the obvious aim.
Now if it true that the OP actually was presented in a rational manner, whether a mistake was made or not, where is the excuse for such pejorative explicatives? And who are really the one(s) displaying what appears to be merely religious fanaticism (“crackpotedness”)?
But the issue isn’t one of personal guilt, rather one of common behavior within the populous. As pointed out by various posters, the populous is “the problem” in that they make things into religions. But they are the ones in charge of the show and spreading the religion of scientism, unless you believe that upper elite managers are keeping them all inline and out of decision making. But if that were the case, how is there so much turmoil on so very many issues regarding corporations, banks, politics, medicine, and just about everything mankind does? Aren’t those people "the populous?
