What’s So Wrong with Objectivism?

After reading works of Ayn Rand and Objectivism (Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Objectivist Ethics, Virtue of Selfishness), I think I now understand why Rand’s philosophy has such a cult following. To begin with, I found out that Objectivism is just pure philosophy, it’s not science. There is no evidence to support its claims and therefore it is not scientifically justifiable. It claims to be committed to reason, but without science and evidence to back up its claims, it’s just another belief system — just like any other cult or religion.
