Then, write a 300 -500-word analysis of the documentary by answerring the following guide questions: 1. What is scientism? Why was Lewis against it? 2. Science was compared science to magic in three ways: as religion, as credulity, and as power. Explain his comparison for each case. 3. Based on what you have learned in the documentary film, what is the presented principle of modernity and its values in the magician’s twin? 4. How does scientism threaten the human person thriving in science and technology? Why should science adhere to a moral basis that is not dictated by science itself? Scientism accepts that everything ought to be clarified by science. There is no scriptural premise, no notion, no assessment. It is regularly utilized fundamentally, suggesting that logical excellence applications are not thought about simply to apply logical techniques or comparable logical principles under nonsensical circumstances. Scientism is the cycle of common science should be a bar by which each other educate is judged. Scientism might be a conviction that everything is and should be explained by science alone. It is generally used essentially, surmising a restorative use of science in crazy conditions considered not affable to use of the coherent procedure or equivalent sensible measures. Lewis isn't anti-science, But he is against scientism, his deception that advanced science is characterized as the solitary dependable strategy on the Science, and his deduction that researchers reserve the privilege to decide social ethics, strict convictions, and even government strategies just due to their logical skill. C.S. Lewis looked at science and enchantment in three viewpoints specifically Religion, Credulity, and Power. To start with, science is religion.

Science is significantly more unsafe than divination since charm misses the mark If it doesn't work, individuals can 'Don't utilize it. Control the world, and science may not control individuals. If you track down the right weight and the right treatment, you can manage them. In science, you have no alternate method to ensure what you are doing, so it becomes dangerous. What I have discovered in the film is that the substance of advancement is that " nothing is

hallowed." to the point that we don't just have God to manage us or in short we lost Faith on the off chance that we completely trust in science. At the point when advancement occurs, there will be no qualifications between people or people among creatures and vegetables and any remaining non-human creatures. because we will simply accept and depend on science. How does science undermine the human individual in flourishing science and innovation? Science demonstrated that science itself is a treat on the human opportunity and surprisingly human instinct itself. we are living in a cutting edge time because of the innovative advances. through science and innovation, we simply rely upon it and make our life simpler. in this manner science ought to be utilized in like manner great, we ought to consistently look at that as a thing that abused or completely mishandled gives result. we ought to consistently know and not completely rely upon science to be a decent regulator of innovation in this advanced time....
