"Lewis was not anti-science, but was opposed to 'Scientism'", He believed that scientism neglected other modes of knowledge such as philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, and religious beliefs, which he considered essential to a comprehensive understanding of the world. . Lewis often argued that by reducing everything to a purely materialistic explanation, scientism threatened to undermine important aspects of human existence, such as morality, purpose, and the nature of consciousness. He believed that the reductionist approach of scientism failed to fully capture the richness and complexity of reality, leaving unanswered questions of meaning and value.

Science is, in fact, incredible and has led the whole world to numerous breakthroughs and discoveries. However, we cannot deny that scientism can be powerful as it can become too dominant and all-encompassing, which can cause some risks to humans. Lewis argues that scientism has the potential to foster a sense of arrogance and overbearing trust in scientific knowledge. It can make people believe that it holds all the answers, giving people fewer doubts that limit creativity or exploration of ideas. Also, suppose scientism continues to become dominant in a worldview sense. In that case, it may devalue the human being by overlooking essential aspects of our existence and limiting our perspective of the world.

Modern Science has the potential to control everything and is far more dangerous than magic. Many people believed that modern science will lead to an age of scientific utopia. It will allow us to remake the world as we see fit. The control of science will remove ethics and limits and will force everything to evolve. The modernity is that nothing is sacred anymore. The consequence of a world that is not sacred is humans are no more sacred, humans being no more important to animals, food, and resources. There are no more morals to restrain scientists from experimenting on living things.

Science should adhere to a moral basis not dictated by science because ethical considerations are crucial in ensuring responsible research and minimizing harm. With direct implications for human well-being, scientific progress must align with the promotion of welfare and social justice. Maintaining public trust is essential as science operates within society, and adhering to moral principles enhances credibility and transparency. Additionally, broader societal impacts and contextual complexity require a holistic understanding of ethical issues that extends beyond scientific evidence alone. Embracing a moral basis outside of science allows for responsible scientific inquiry while guiding its application for the benefit of humanity.

Science was compared to magic as its similarities in chasing of unknown and understanding the world. However, what makes them different to each other is that; Science is the pursuit of things bases on systematic approach and based on facts derived from empirical experimentation. While magic deals with supernatural elements and incantations on achieving desired outcomes which can't be explained by natural laws. Since both seeks to uncover mysteries our world has to offer, Science was compared as manipulative scientism perspective, which holds that science is the only reliable or acceptable approach to interpret reality and disregards other fields of knowledge including philosophy, ethics, and spirituality.

Scientism is a belief system that elevates scientific knowledge and methods above all other forms of knowledge and ways of thinking. It is a form of reductionism that seeks to reduce all forms of knowledge to scientific knowledge. It assumes that everything that exists in the world can be studied and explained through the methods of natural science, and that scientific knowledge is the only knowledge that is truly objective and reliable.
