i like where you stand CSfilm but don't you agree science does need moral in a fundemental level? (i'm an atheist..) I frankly agree with you that religious dogmas/ rules SHOULD be left out of science but i still believe scientists need to be trained in ethics (yes, it does require training at times) or else the world may be quite dangerous with all these mad scientist threatenting to change our weather pattern. well maybe not that bad, but I think some ethics is needed only merely for perpetuating human existance and utilitarian happiness
as long as the end result of good, i believe breaking a few laws set my this god fellow isn't such a bad deal. of course one may argue by breaking laws of god, you are bringing doom/misery to the human kind. now that's a point of stalemate for both sides of the arguement~ i think
