Technologists are as prone to flights of fantasy and mysticism as anyone else: Example: AI is a threat to humanity --- as soon as it learns how to differentiate fact from fiction on the internet. But equating technologist with "science" or "scientist" is a fallacy. Technologists may employ science as a tool but they have no obligation to justify or offer proof of their work. Example: Musk may *believe* that a colony of some sort can be built on Mars --- but there is no proof that it will ever be self sustaining over time or that significant numbers of sane people would ever willingly choose to try and live there. So sorry --- science and religion are not the same.
