This definition is concerning because without strict criteria for what is and isn’t science, we welcome topics like phrenology. Topics like this are, as a whole, not true. While I think psychology is no where near as problematic, the author’s argument that a loose definition of science, like whether the scientific method is employed, can be dangerous. > This is dangerous because, under such a loose definition, anything can qualify as science. And when anything qualifies as science, science can no longer claim to have a unique grasp on secular truth. Ultimately, what we define as scientific will impact what we perceive to be truthful. Setting a higher bar for a topic to be labeled scientific will strengthen our grasp on secular truth.
