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.

    Edit: I think I may have misunderstood the question... I didn't quiet understand how exactly science was answering these questions however... I watched it through and through but i felt like all I heard was common sense. Basic human ethics. If that is science answering Moral Questions, if it's just ethics, then don't we already do this on a daily basis...?
