"Possession of an MD degree does not make one a "knower" of science - or of moral science anyway"

"Why am I not surprised at your feeble lack of awareness. Moral science has been around for quite a while actually. Not that Darweenies would know about it. They are too busy with their heads up their collective dustbins of history to notice. "

It looks from that site that moral science is the study of morals. Your use of the term implied science done according to some standard of moral behavior. If these are supposed to be the same, I'm sure you'll connect the dots for us.

The idea if "moral science" ended in the nineteenth century with Social Darwinism and later in the twentieth century with Ontal Logics.

Not since Kant has philosophy seriously entertained the notion of moral absolutes.

In terms of epistemonogy science has never entertained the notion of absolutes; moral or physical.

Not since Aristole has science been confused with theology. Accept by the Catholic Church during the time of Ptolomemy.
