Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.

Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.

At the end of the day, if there are truly ethical considerations, those have to override scientific considerations.

Science is but an image of the truth.

Science is about nothing but getting at the truth, and anything that gets in the way of that diminishes, in my experience, the science.

Truth is truth, whether labeled 'science' or 'religion.'

As scientists, we need to not be afraid of the truth.

Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it. It is civilizing because it puts truth ahead of all else, including personal interests.

Understanding truth is the primary objective of science, not doing good for the world.

Most importantly, I agree that the truth of these matters should be determined by interpretation of scientific evidence - experiments, fossil studies and the like.
