Last Saturday, our
professor let us watch a video clip about a speech of a man about the
relationship between science and human values. The speaker had a good
speech about Science vs morality and other topics. He has given a lot of
situations. He mentioned things that would views that science can answer
morality, and morality is relates to values which is kind a fact.
According to Sam
Harris, “it's often said that science cannot give us a foundation for morality
and human values, because science deals with facts, and facts and values seem
to belong to different spheres.” Yes, science is the body of knowledge with the
facts. Values are facts about the well-being and consciousness. Knowing
what is morally right and what is morally wrong. Values are certain kind of
fact. Science cannot answer all about morality because it science don’t have
such a study about morality, but then it can’t be the basis about the science
Maybe, there were certain facts about morality that is not bounded by science.
Morality relates
to value. In morality we value differences and opinions. Science has no
opinions since there were theories and studies about the things surrounded by
us. Whatever talks about science and morality, we cannot change the fact that
science and morality have different boundaries. People, do have different
opinions about the relationship of the science and morality. About the
religion, science cannot argue with it. It talks about God, it cannot be
contracted by someone, we do have different religions and cultures we believe
in.
Just to know that
whatever science and morality differs, the important is we know what to believe
in. What is better for us, and what makes everyone happy. If they believe that
science can answer morality, then go and believe it. There is no problem on
whatever you believe as long as nothing is wrong, and no one is affected. What
we just need is to respect about their differences. Understand the positive and
negative fact on it. Let just be open-minded on what they think is right.
People have different perspective,
sometimes they do cannot see same point of view of other people. We need to
speak up on what we know so that other people would understand others point of
view, so that nobody would make argument on whatever they think is right. So
that no one would make problems bigger, and complicated. Maybe, everybody would
just be happy and just enjoy the life God has given us.
