In this case it's not the issue...it's a red herring. We are trying to use science to explain how life began and changes, and we kept getting side tracked by the issue of whether science provides a moral code. Explanations of life and its origins for science class. Moral codes and ethics for theology/philosophy class. The fact that science can't provide a "moral code" should not be used to weaken its strength as a force for explaining and predicting in the realm of the empirical. This makes perfect sense to me.

Nancy, let’s go deeper. What is science, and what and how does it provide society with a ruling or guiding moral code of ethical and legal behavior? That’s the crux of the issue, isn’t it?
