Can science answer moral questions?

Yes

38

No

69

[quote]Questions of good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. But Sam Harris argues that science can — and should — be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.[/quote] Just a heads up - I haven't watched the video before posting this, so I have no idea regarding its quality. But considering the fact that I advocate making ethics virtually synonymous with logic, I'll cast my vote for yes.

  • Science inherently has no morals. If we based all of our morals on science, terrible human experiments would be much more prevalent than they are today and animal testing would be next to nonexistent because of possible inaccuracies. I know it will make some people ass hurt for me to say this, but morals absolutely come from nature and we are all born with God-given rights that no man can take away, lest he asserts his own ambitions over us.
