The scientist is an investigator of nature for whom it is axiomatic that the nature of nature is matter in motion. All his or her investigations proceed upon this bases. The metaphysics of philosophy and the gods of religion are nothing but obscurantist superstition.

For the scientist all being is matter in motion. For the scientist being that is not matter in motion is being that cannot be and he or she proceeds to prove that it is not. The great strength of the scientist is the discovery of laws pretaining to matter in motion and the consequent construction of technology as applications of these laws. The productivity of science is not in doubt. Its insightfulness into the nature of being is.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in psychology with the emergence of behaviorism. Consciousness and free-will are epiphenomenonial. There is really no consciousness. There are only things, the behaviorist included, that are fully determinable by the great calculating machine that is science.

Dr. Victor Mordenheim is actually all too familiar with this terrain. In a moment of weakness, resulting from decades of failure to restore his wife to consciousness, he summoned to his side a pair of necromancers specialising in soul transference. For a brief moment the greatest scientific mind in the Land of Mists was prepared to abandon the prejudice of his science for the life of his wife. When Adam, the Vistani, and ethical doubts on the part of the necromancers successfully conspired to spoil the effort, Mordenheim reverted to type and castigated himself for having believed for even a moment in the lies of obscurantist superstition, for having doubted the Truth that is science.
