Mythology is believing that gravity and mass are not interrelated

Belief has no place in science, and is directly across purposes to it (it’s called bias). Believing that gravitation is caused by mass is a religious/mythological position, not a scientific one.

There is a very good reason that, since their invention 3+ centuries ago, no progress has been made on understanding how mass could ever cause gravitation or be consistent with observation even if it did. There is a noteworthy reason why such progress will never occur.

Mythology is believing the earth is flat despite all of the evidence against it

There is evidence for LOT’s of things, but that doesn’t make them true.

Mythology is the human default. Science is much more difficult and is the procedure intended to suppress and surpass that inherent bias.

Believing the earth is spherical, as the vast majority (perhaps even yourself?) does, is every bit as mythologically/religiously based as believing it flat.

Mythology is calling something scientism merely because you don't agree

Not really, that would be more of a rhetorical tactic and/or delusion.

Scientism is belief in / worship of a mundane technical procedure, and its practitioners and acolytes.

When science is based upon belief, it is scientifically proper to call it scientism.

Celestial bodies are oblate sphereoids, all of them

So we are required to believe and repeat. But belief and rote do not make things true, and they certainly don’t make them science. Understanding, acutely, what science is and why is critical to being able to discern science from pseudoscience/mythology/religion taught under its guise. Perhaps this is the reason scientific illiteracy is so ubiquitous - to stop that from being possible.

The earth formed, it was not made.

Once again, this is a belief. You want the earth to have formed itself without being made the exact same way a religious zealot wants it to have been made without randomly having been formed.

With such bias, if the world were made and not randomly formed you would never discover it and vice versa.
