Peer Review is Beyond Irrelevant

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

(Romans 13:11) NKJV

We frequently say that we’re here to destroy the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop). This comes up on Twitter when someone suggests:

“Have your work peer reviewed and then I might take it seriously. “

The New Scientific Knowledge

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

Knowledge and facts are things which ought to be true regardless of what we believe about God or the origin of the universe. Therefore, something which is only true in the popular science paradigm (SciPop) isn’t knowledge.

Faith = Evidence

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

The Fool has Said in his Heart

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Mahalath.” A Contemplation of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.

(Psalms 53:1) NKJV

Rather than demonstrating that “science” is based on evidence whereas faith isn’t, ironically Christopher Hitchens showed that he didn’t understand what evidence is or how it’s used.

Epistemological Abuse

“Everyone must use honest weights and measures:

(Ezekiel 45:10) Good News Version

Hitchens’s razor isn’t a philosophical tenet which regulates the use of evidence, it’s proof of a failure to understand what evidence is and how it’s used. We all have exactly the same evidence. What you believe it’s evidence of is derived from your choice of paradigm. This is Matty’s Razor.
