The Royal Society of London was the first epistemological cartel to really make that leap into the legitimization of Scientism, including pedagogy on Evolutionary Biology, Heliocentrism, Gravitational Theory, The Copernican Principle, Astronomy, and Natural Science. Though most of their "Natural Science" endeavors were anchored in Babylonian Hermeticism, Alchemical Magick, and the Rosicrucianism of Sir Francis Bacon, they were able to mask these underpinnings by rebranding their pedagogy as empirical science, thereby establishing the foundations of modern science as a Trojan Horse for occultism, resulting in the start of long legacy of epistemological front groups such as The Vatican Jesuits, The Freemasons, and The Illuminati, all of which who would further disseminate The Royal Society's occult doctrines behind the same banner of so-called, "legitimate empirical science". Merely look at what they were teaching: The Copernican Principle Heliocentrism Gravity Evolutionary Theory An Expanding Universe Astrophysics, Astronomy For all their preaching of the merits of the scientific method, everything they taught, and currently do teach, is anchored in occult fantasy, which was cleverly repackaged as legitimate material science. The Royal Society was the perfect subterfuge and Trojan Horse for advancing their occult agendas and ideas under the radar. On the surface, The Royal Society sought to realize Sir Francis Bacon's vision of experimental science as a collective activity undertaken for the good of The State. However, Bacon's connection to the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons has been widely discussed by authors and scholars in many books. Andreas Sommer, in his article in PSI Encyclopedia, says this about the "scientific revolution" of the 16th and 17th Centuries: "The scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - represented by pioneers such as Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton - is often considered to have liberated humanity from religious oppression and superstition. It was at this time, one commentator writes, that modern notions of 'a sharp distinction between normal and paranormal, between science and pseudoscience, reality and magic' began to form, and ever since, these boundaries have 'divided parapsychology from conventional science'.
