A comprehensive worldview combining the dogmas of scientific evidence, falsifiability, and empiricism into a single, self‑certifying system. Scientific evidentialist religion holds that only claims that can be empirically tested, potentially falsified, and supported by peer‑reviewed evidence are worthy of belief. It condemns all other forms of knowing (intuition, revelation, dialectics, tradition) as irrational. It is a religion because it demands faith in its own epistemic foundations—which cannot be justified by its own standards without circularity. It is the most complete contemporary expression of scientism as a faith.
