Why do you mention science?

Adherents to Atheism like to speak of their beliefs as grounded in science and objectivity. I was questioned regarding the intrisity of the knowledge of "rightness" but asked not to explain it in terms of "religion"...thus began a series of posts including a couple from Junior, a well known poster from the EVO/CREAT threads.

I was challenged in my notion that "intrisity of knowledge of rightness and wrongness" could not be explained scientifically by Junior and I was somewhat poking fun at him, mentioning that I remebemred him from the EVO threads. He had sought to challenge me on religious grounds concerning the "rightness" of religious wars in the Bible and in history and I reminded him that "rightness" could not be argued on a rational scientific basis but if one believed in divine revelation one might have a discussion on those terms!
