I just saw Sam Harris’ latest TED talk where he spoke about whether science could speak on morality. The more I hear from him, the more I agree with him. He laid out his line of reasoning, and I agreed with every step. He didn’t go so far as to say that we have the answers, but that this was a sphere of knowledge that is open to this kind of investigation. In this way, we can move towards finding right answers, as opposed to just accepting what some religious power mongers tell us. Check it out on YouTube.
P.S. I know I’m late with my two new columns. Just be patient. I’m hoping to get them started this Friday.
