Sam Harris is a militant atheist, who among other assertions, “argues that science can — and should — be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life. “

Tell us, Dr. Harris, how Science (Peace be upon Her) explains ISIS?

Science is a method, just like the market.

Science is the most effective way we have found to determine (certain types of) facts.

The market is the most effective way we have found to structure an economy.

Both are utterly amoral.
