Can We Be Moral Without Science?

The answer is no, at least, from this essay that argues that a society needs science to maintain moral values.

Can science help us be moral? Yes, science frees our intellect from inadequate morals which have impeded humanity and provides knowledge from which we make better moral decisions. We should not perceive science and religion as opposing principles, but as complementary choices - compatible pathways to progress. Perhaps a more important question is, can we be moral without science? In today's scientific era, I think not.


I haven't decided if I quite agree with the whole essay. I've never thought of science in this light before, so this is something new.
