Science and Scientism Are Not the Same

Science is a valuable tool for observing and understanding the natural world, but it was never intended to serve as humanity's ultimate authority. Scientism goes beyond scientific investigation by claiming that only what can be measured, tested, or observed can be considered true. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains the difference between science and scientism, the limits of scientific inquiry, and why scientism is ultimately a philosophical belief rather than a scientific conclusion. Science can help us understand how God's creation works, but it cannot answer ultimate questions about morality, meaning, purpose, or our existence. Christians must evaluate every claim through the truth of Scripture and remember that all truth ultimately comes from God.
