On Faith In 'scientific Truth'
In the religion of science, “scientific truth” is absolute,
Although truth is,
As must be admitted:
That often even scientific truth is in dispute,
Especially when biases are permitted, and
False analyses, built around them, committed.
For the faithful believers in science, the truth is absolute, though
Facts contrary to this to them may ever be in dispute.
Even when mad scientists make things they must conceal,
Even when they manufacture things they must not reveal,
Explaining things by other than scientific truth,
Priests of science they remain, performing
What you might call "evil" acts--,
Promoting scientific truth
With science-distorting “facts”.
And then to believe in these fantastic twists of truth,
The populi they coach,
On the grounds that they are “scientists”,
And thus beyond reproach.
