You: if science is so perfect at explaining away things, why is it not ok to kill another man in cold blood?

Me: Because no one chooses the part on the one being killed. Same thing with stealing. No one chooses to be the one whose stuff gets taken.

You don't know it isn't science. An instinct for self preservation has long been asserted not only for man but for other animal life as well. The tuna does not volunteer to be the shark's dinner. A notion that it is all right to murder in cold blood just does not fit the facts as observed by science.

Same thing with stealing. Animals fight all the time to protect what's theirs whether it be territory, a kill, or a mate. How many National Geographic specials do you have to watch where male horses or lions or wolves battle to see which will be the "alpha?" Once it is their herd or their pride or their pack they won't give it up without a fight.
