Can Science and Morality co-exist?

There hasn't always been a divide between science and morality or science and religion.  But now it can be hard to tell how far science should go in finding answers.  Can there be a co-existence between the two?  Especially when personal belief may make a person lean towards believing morality should draw a line in how far a scientist should go for scientific study?

Yes, of course.

Science and morality can co-exist, but science doesn't need to explain morality. This question isn't asking if science can say what is and isn't moral, but if these two things can co-exist.

Side: Yes, of course.

I would argue that science can very much explain morality, and thus part is wrong. But, science does not decide what is moral and not moral. Morality is a subjective retaliative choice over what behaviors are considered better, worse, and to what degree they are better or worse, and as groups of more than one individual decide this, it becomes a social agreement within a group over this. Because of this, science can explain it, but the decision making is subjective and relative to those making the decisions. What science can help with is to provide as objective as possible arguments towards choosing one moral over another, which does not dictate the outcome of the decision, but can influence it in positive manners.

Side: Yes, of course.

Obviously not, however, your argument seems to fit with "Scientism vs Morality" and not science in general. Scientism can be put as, "putting science on the highest pedestal, higher than other intellectual systems, including morality." Scientists generally do not conduct immoral science experiments.

Side: Yes, of course.

If morality did not exist, then there would be no concept of what is good or evil. It would come down to what is beneficial to a person( or community) and what is not. Without the boundaries that morality imposes, arguments against evil things such as racism and genocide become harder to fight. From a purely scientific point, those ideas suddenly become more viable. Racism allows a population to protect itself from foreign pathogens and disease by secluding themselves from what they perceive as a threat. Genocide would allow for a community to guarantee that its genes survive. I understand that these evil actions still occur today, but because of morality, we are able to fight them and try to eliminate them from society.

Side: Yes, of course.

I think any line that I personally draw would be a case by case basis. There have been instance where the quest for knowledge has tiptoed across the lines of what I consider morality, such as grave robbers digging up recently deceased whose corpses where then sold for scientific study. In many cases the person conducting their experiments knew or at least turned a blind eye to where the corpse came from.

In this instance it goes very much against the family of the departed and their wishes. Again though, it would be a case by case basis.

Hmmm. I might be dodging the question a little, but from some people's perspectives it is morally right to do things to advance science (and human knowledge) that may not seem very nice. I'm not going to go so far as Nazi human experimentation or something, don't worry, but some might argue that the reason for our existence is to advance our knowledge, though people will disagree about what acceptable costs are. If I had to choose between either saving someone's life, or letting them die so that a great scientific discovery could be made, I might choose the latter. (Assume no positive side effects of the discovery for humans other than the new knowledge obtained) What would you choose Mint?

I think bringing Nazi's into it is quite interesting. But I can't make myself look into their experiments to see if at any point in time anything they did was "worth it".

If I had to choose between either saving someone's life, or letting them die so that a great scientific discovery could be made

I would save them, and use that knowledge to backtrack later or to save someone else who may be having the same issue. Let me ask you this, if it were your child or a loved on and they could be cured or left to die to advance a great scientific study, would you still choose the latter? Where would you draw the line in that? Please believe I'm not asking in any hateful way, I'm genuinely curious.

"I think bringing Nazi's into it is quite interesting. But I can't make myself look into their experiments to see if at any point in time anything they did was "worth it."

Of course I agree (although I haven't really done any research into it), It was just an example of how far people can go. I'm sure that some Nazis thought it was worth it.

"I would save them, and use that knowledge to backtrack later or to save someone else who may be having the same issue."

Not quite sure what you mean about 'using that knowledge.' My question was kind of context-less, I'm not sure what the knowledge gained from saving them would be?

"Let me ask you this, if it were your child or a loved on and they could be cured or left to die to advance a great scientific study, would you still choose the latter?"

No I wouldn't, because it comes down to what I value most. I value my family over a scientific discovery, but I value a scientific discovery over some stranger's life. I'm not sure what my answer would be if the question were between erasing all scientific discoveries vs killing a family member.

"Please believe I'm not asking in any hateful way, I'm genuinely curious."

Science is a social undertaking and therefore is bound by society's determined morals.

why don't we feel pain towards rocks while breaking them?

This really depends a lot on how expansive one takes the definition (and therefore enterprise) of Science to be. If you operate on a very expansive definition of Science then morality would necessarily become a scientific area of study such as in other areas of the Social Sciences. However, if you operate on a more "hard line/hard science" definition, then our Sciences are light-years away from being able to say anything about morality analogous to a principle of Chemistry (if it even proves feasible at all, that is).

By very lexis definition, the Modern English term 'science' is a derivative of Old Latin's ‘sciēns,' which literally implies knowledge. Therefore, logic tells me the we learn about our true nature, the more sense we can make of morality in our Larger Scheme of Everything.

For an example, Appropriate Technology now increase the standard of living for the developing world without condescension, complication, or environmental damage.

That's an interesting statement. "Science continually updates our morals".

Side: Yes, of course.

The thing about science is that you have to be constantly open to new ideas, even when you think you know everything, and the thing about morality is you have to constantly be open to new ideas because as society progresses, morality must evolve along with or risk being combatative with new ideas.

Although there has been quite a debate till today about an "objective" morality of some sort, Science and morality can, in fact coexist.. While science tells you things the way they are, morality in my opinion, is objective in it's most agreeable statements, in other words, if someone would look into "morals" one can find that it all comes down to survival as a species.. we're genetically hardwired to survive, and we can draw comparisons to how groups in the wild behave and find out they too, have a certain innate sense of how to survive as a species. With all that said, while one can reach a point where you have two differing suggestions proposed by science and morality, you're the king and they're your ministers, choose to execute which best suits you.

Of course they can co-exist.

Morality is something defined by the individual.

It is entirely up to the scientist to not let his search for knowledge override what he thinks is right.

That is not to say we should leave it up to a single individual to not break the ethics and laws agreed upon by society.

However that has little to do with whether or not the two can co-exist.

Well, do they co-exist in the now? The question is simply can they which they do now you don't see a large scale conflict arising from it, in some cases religion ( which I will use as a standing point for morality ) has spoken of science in a way to support its claims and science tries to understand the other. They can co-exist now because they are two different things one is faith supported and more something naturally found within humanity while Science is the study of existing things, not opposites they both exist its just one is still being understood while the other is being followed and set.

Morality, weather in the context of religion or not, is rules defineing what is bad and what we should not do. Science, by the way of the scientific method, is how we find the truths of the univerce. So for one I don't see any contridections in the definitions, and two morality is not TM by religion in any socity the believe that some things are wrong and should not be done and that other things are great things to do should be done, that are the two side of morality and that ideal system, morality, can exist in in place that are not religios because people want to do what is right and not do what is wrong.

Yes, and it does coexist.

One’s subjective morality may impact one’s scientific pursuit.

For example:

Should I study this?

Should I perform experiments on human beings?

The scientific study itself is amoral and mechanical.

For example:

Let’s take cloning.

The cloning process is mechanical amoral process.

Putting it altogether in co-existence:

One scientist subjective morality says, “All cloning is evil.”

Another one says, “Well, we can clone plants and animals, but no human beings.”

The yet another says, “Hey we can clone everything.”

Side: Yes, of course.

Morality is a "subjective relative decision making over to what degree a behavior is good or bad". This can happen with an individual or a group of individuals. As soon as this becomes more than one individual, it becomes a Social Agreement between the individuals within the group over the "subjective relative decision making over to what degree a behavior is good or bad". This is not to say that everyone in the group would agree, but within any group some form of social leadership will arise and the leaders of that social group will determine what those moral rules for that group will be, either because the majority believes they are the right morals or because the minority has enough power to force those rules over the majority.

Science is about learning how our existence really works and doing this in as objective a manner as possible while critically attacking every answer found to be true, thus trying to prove all existing truths found false, if possible. Those things which cannot be objectively proven false rise to become what is "Scientifically Most Likely True". Science is all about probabilities of what is most likely being true while constantly testing all results.

Science has nothing to do with deciding what is moral and what is not; but science is all about understanding why we chose morals and providing us as objective as possible arguments to decide one moral over another, thus can have a great influence over morals, but not decide morals.

Both obviously co-exist, meaning the answer to the question is obviously "Of Course", all one has to do is look at the existence we live in for scientific objective proof of this.

Side: Yes, of course.

They already do co-exist. Science has proven that a human life begins at conception, and moral compassionate loving people agree.

There is one Party that flies in the face of Scientific evidence of the beginning of a human life, and this is the radical pro abortion Democrat Party.

I realize there are people, acting like animals, who admit that life begins at conception, but simply do not care. Most of these people reside in the Democrat Party.

Difficult, sure, but not impossible, what was written was written for a purpose, a reason that made sense to the writer, if you can tap into their frame of mind and follow their thread you can make sense of it.

Ultimately the Bible was never written for public consumption, it literally says "Only the Most High may approach the Tabernacle." the very vessel the law was transported in, the Ark of the Covenant. In this respect, there was a Priest class, which was more like a legal class, each town, maybe even each family, had at least one legal professional, people who studied the law, but were only allowed access to scripture directly pertaining to each case.

Only the High Priest was entitled to study the entire text without restriction, yet this is no longer true, anyone can get a Bible now, pretty much everyone can read, so if you want a basis for error consider that, the Bible itself refuses common access to it, so ignoring that instruction is the problem. People need to be prepared by years, maybe decades, of education to be able to approach it professionally.

Science is observations of nature, perhaps universal truths in a way, but circumstances change a lot that's the nature of reality, so if the world is always changing then truths are always changing. Humans are moral creatures, sure, that is an anthropocentric truth, not a universal, and from person to person we may see similar moral codes but each person will operate according to their own moral code, this makes morals subjective, just as truth is transient.

In the end, we write Laws, or identify Ideas as principle guidelines, concepts of justice that are timeless "Definitions may change but Ideas are timeless." Mark Twain, stipulations of law change as we may need, but the spirit of justice is eternal, we merely need to translate a change to be true to its purpose.

This question reminds me of a John Adams anecdote, (Founding Father, 2nd PotUS) : He had a dog named Satan, odd name, right? And yet not without his reasoning to it, a dog is a mindless beast, it could shred your throat out with its teeth, killing you before you hit the ground, but you cannot sit down with a dog and have a deep and meaningful discussion about the moral implications of ripping someone's throat out with your teeth...

Point is, the world isn't moral, not from dog to rock to volcano, it's mindless, we are the only ones of that capacity, that divine or Godly capacity for reason. The world as science studies it is Satan, for intents and purposes, just as surely as John Adam' dog was Satan, God however is in the Higher realm, of higher reasoning, and higher emotion, not the baser, worldly, or flesh.

Science and religion have coexisted since the dawn of man. At times the two were inseparable. Today science has sadly become a religion of its own right and no longer uses the scientific method very much. Whoever pays for the study gets to dictate the results of the study. You'd be surprised how many scientist openly admit to having faked or manipulated research data to better fit the agenda of their employer. Peer reviews and the institutions associated with them have become the truth police and act as the Vatican of scientism. This kind of science cannot coexist with religion because it is in fact a religion itself, and one that tolerates no competitors.

I believe both science and morality are indispensable part of our lives and they can't exist without each other. One keeps the other functioning in a correct way and checks for wrong use. For eg morality can be backed by science like sleeping with a number of people is considered wrong in many societies (science tells us that it increases the chances of getting STDs), scientific experiment of animals is wrong because it causes pain and pose threat to the animal in many ways which is a fact by science and hence morality says it shouldn't be done, likewise in Indian culture in some villages women are supposed to bleed in her first night of wedding as proof of her virginity, now we all believe that it is an immoral act and a wrong way of judgement (science says that hymen can be broken without losing virginity).

yes, science and morality can co-exist because science is the study of the natural universe, and character is based on opinion.

Still, a Russian citizen in the Russian military is serving a moral civil duty towards their government which they pledge to for the promise of protection just as Ukraine does. Therefore either perspective is morally correct or morally incorrect. Another example could be that Ukraine joined the USSR by choice and there was nothing saying they could leave so when the USSR broke down should they have been part of Russia or should they have gone as they did?

Science can be split into 2 parts theory and law, scientific theory is the explanation behind why the natural process happens, but scientific law is the explanation of what happened

(TL DR: reasoning behind morality being based on opinion and perspective, meanwhile science is an explanation of the natural forces of the universe)

Galileo Galilei always said science and religion were never meant to go against each other so yes. Remember, it was the primarily the roman catholics who refused to see this connection, claiming science is the work of the devil and a "heresy". They still to this day believe the earth is flat and their current pope is a fool to believe homosexuality is scientifically proven to be useful because it isn't as homosexuality/bisexuality already causes AIDs/HIV. Why is heterosexuality so important? Because it brings more humans into this world and without that, the human race will go extinct. That's science right there. Biology is supremely what people need to realize is connected to God's creations. God never made people homosexual nor bisexual nor trans abomination wise, people choose to make choices and in this case, choosing sodomy is the wrong choice with consequences. While choosing the right is to be heterosexual and to be married before having sexual relations. Sex outside of marriage brings harmful situations such as the challenging choice of abortion because the man and the woman refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Evolution doesn't fit in also because the DNA proves otherwise. Science really did disprove Darwinism and it will continue to be debunked while fools will always rely on the delusion that evolution exists when it does not. Animals never evolved into another form; for example, apes never evolved into humans so humans and apes are separate species. Cockroaches never became dinosaurs just because they existed before dinosaurs. Darwinism has and always will remain a theory. Science and creationism go more together than you'd all think. Ken Ham and Henry M Morris have both disproven Darwinian evolution by a mile.

Your hypocrisy is always exposed the moment you start insulting, lying and slandering. Your arguments are strawmen, weak and hypocritically invalidated. Cry me a river and get over it. You are the pure example of an insane patient. You don't even know facts/truth from reality and you call me insane? It's typical for a wretched hypocritical snowflake like you to insult a man of common sense such as I.

I have more facts than you and you will always be silenced as soon as you start spewing bullshit. It is also an absolute objective universal fact that creationists can be scientists and that science itself has evidence to support that God created all things. There is no hint of evidence that supports insane evolution. There is no trace of DNA in human beings that are connected to apes. These are scientific findings that Another-Alt aka Bipolar alt denies, which makes him the elephant in the room crying insanity insanity insanity.

Watch yourself, ape-alt, you got yourself in your own grave and the more you scream at me for speaking absolute objective universal facts, the more you dig deeper into it. You're already a condemned idiot by your own selfish narcissistic behavior. You will continue to be destroyed by the truths that I speak. Morality is objective and it exists because of God. Right and wrong exists. Good and evil exists. Another-Alt is an example of evil and will be destroyed on a huge scale constantly. All trolls will be destroyed and silenced by the truth.

Science can actually answer many questions in the realm of morality and that science is called psychology, also with the help of Neuroscience. In the same way for example that psychologist can determine if a person has psychopathic tendencies which is mostly about the lack of empathy; in many cases This specific part of your brain is called the the right supra-marginal gyrus. When this brain region doesn't function properly—or when we have to make particularly quick decisions—the researchers found one’s ability for empathy is dramatically reduced. This area of the brain helps us to distinguish our own emotional state from that of other people and is responsible for empathy and compassion.

But if we're gonna take logic with no science references I think when it comes to morality science is the closest thing that can explain or interpret our moral compass because science is about evidence and proof and studying multiple cases before coming to any conclusions which is more co-existence with morality than any other method created by mankind.

Many people claim that Religion is a better answer for human's morality, as much as I would like to agree with this point because it would be much easier to determine which acts are moral and which are immoral by just reading it from a book but I can't really Agree for the reason that different religions has different books which makes them have different moral reasons for certain acts. which makes the morality dependable on what the person has been taught from a young age, or what societies claims moral reasoning for certain immoral acts, like Honor killings for example is a very big issue where I come from and the Killer can go without an equivalent punishment for the homicide he committed just because culturally it is in some way acceptable to kill your sister or wife if you caught her in the act of having sex with another man. and that's not just in a court of law, its also acceptable in society which sometimes even praise this act and make parents or relatives of the killer even proud of his doing.

Psychology is formal in nature, like Law, science deals in substantial facts, like evidence, you can present evidence in court, but that doesn't make science the grand arbiter of guilt and innocence, the court owes its cases their rights, to defend themselves, explain themselves, to identify the actual causality of an action such evidence establishes.

Science must report what is true about nature or it is immoral. In the true presentation of facts it is moral, and those facts can be observed, tested, repeated for anybody to see. Abuses of science are immoral while true presentation of facts, even when science is abused and immoral, is moral.

Usually, when people want to rule morality out of science, it's because they want to mutilate babies for research.

I agree. Everyone has their own interpretation of philosophy and theology, it is a very gray area. Science on the other hand is very black and white, which is a good thing in my opinion, because if it weren't for the clarity of science, scientists would put unfair biases on discoveries that may not have enough evidence to back it up. However, it is true that nothing in science is definite. Everything is an estimation backed up by evidence, but that is not saying that the theory is definitely correct, or incorrect. Also, the biosphere is always changing, and that is where science is subdivided into different categories, in which different people study different things. Also, it depends on what someone's definition of morality is. If their definition of morality is "do good", then of course they can co-exist. If their definition is religion, then even then they can co-exist, because they compliment each other. Take the Bible, in the beginning, it is discussed how everything developed (evolution) from the sea. This actually is backed up by a scientific perspective, where the first cells were created by the bonding of amino acids. One of the rules of cells is that they can not just form, they have to come from other cells, and again for most things, there is no definite definition, or definite theory that can stand alone without biblical and other religion's values and what they believe is right. Now if our definition of morality is Medieval thinking like the dark ages, then no. They can not co-exist because in this instance, they did not compliment each other, they defied each other, because they believe that the only option was the Bible, and everything else was heresy.

This is why our culture is dying. The Left hs done all in it's power to separate God from our public, and without God, mankind has no clue of morality.

The first thing they say is Whose Morals? No man can agree on what is moral and what is immoral. This is why we now have nine States making No Restriction abortions legal! We have millions of Democrats voting for the Democrat Party that keeps it legal to do so.

Our nation's majority Christian faith once lifted up the obvious values that created strong committed families. We had no need for a Government playing mother and father to our children.

Without faith in God, we see our welfare roles filled with unwed mothers. We see record numbers of people living off food stamps.

Nations fall from within and America is doing the same. We are going bankrupt supporting people that once supported themselves. This is how important moral values are to a nation.

I am saying exacty wat I said. Without God, a nation has no morl foundation to stnd on. Without moral alues being lifted up, a nations value fall into the gutter as we are seeing.

Christians are not perfect and have sinned. The difference is that even though we have sinned, we do not say our sins are ok. We do our best to always improve our faults and live up to the vaues from our Christian faith.

Mankind without God refuses to admit his sins because in his no fault world, anything goes.

One night hook ups, living together with no committments to their children, promiscuous sex, etc. etc. are no problem in man's world.

Christians do not want moral laws. What we want is for our nation hold onto moral values tht helps all people. We want them to care about our children and try to live in ways that does not harm children or others who must pay for the irresponsible lifestyles.

There is something in the middle that science and morality can't co-exist . The intrest which comes to the scientists in the experiments takes them far away from the point of morality . Scientists do experiments on animals , on land which if seen with the point of morality is wrong but for welfare it's right .

No. They can not co-exist.

The reason being that Science can not tell you what morality is.

Can Science explain why I shouldn't rape women? No. According to science, I'm just spreading my seed. It does not dictate why I shouldn't rape women. In nature, animals rape each other (Of course not all the time, but it does happen) and again, according to Science, that's just what happens. But we all know that rape is wrong. Why is it wrong? That's what science can't answer.

Morality is an abstract thing; the difference between right and wrong. The word "Science" originates from Latin, which means "Knowledge" We have KNOWLEDGE that rape occurs. Is it moral to rape? No. Can science tell you that? No.

In conclusion, Science and morality are two completely separate things, and anyone who says otherwise has not spent the time thinking about the subject.

Side: No way.

No, because in order for science and morality to coexist it must centre itself around philosophy and religion which hold basic morale that science ignores or is not a part of, combining science with religion, morality and philosophy would destroy the whole point of science, to discover new things and seek out the truth behind the universe's biggest questions.

Science and morality cannot co-exist because for science and morality to co-exist scientists have to give way to morality to be the guiding force for all actions scientists take.

Example, look at how science uses animals, cruelty to animals is illegal but why can science use animals to advance their efforts?

Science uses animals to advance their research and this is immoral, but the argument against this is it is for the greater good.

Who's greater good, the greater good of general population or mega corporations? Science is steeped in greed and self glorification; greed from the business perspective and self glorification from the nobel prize perspective

Science and morality will never co-exist, because for science to advance (in one of many aspects) there always has to be a guinea pig and money, and the only way to prove the scientists efforts are worth funding is through experimentation or some profound find.

Science and morality cannot coexist because there is no objective definition of the latter. The way we use morality is as if there exists some form of ultimate, black-and-white list of right vs. wrong. This does not exist. Many people try to claim intellectual dominance through some kind of superior understanding of morality, but their version is just as subjective and abstract as everyone else's.

Science can, however, coexist with empathy- which does not claim an ultimate knowledge of right or wrong but is merely the practice of doing the best you can to help those around you in need.
