Science, then, can provide us with a set of values not findings for how to run our lives, and that includes our social and political lives.Self-anointed elite "social scientists" in charge of running everyone's lives?
No thanks. I'd rather go with the first 100 names in the Boston telephone book.

If we are to choose the values that underpin scientific thinking to underpin society, scientists must think of themselves as moral leaders. But they must teach fallibility, not absolute truth. It's all about providing "scientific" explanations for why we must adopt socialist goals.
"Homosexuality is natural", "Western Industrialism is causing global warming/cooling", "a fetus is not a life"...

Looking to science to provide us with values? Not only no, but hell no. The scientific method is one of mankind’s greatest inventions, but it needs morality from a traditional source to keep it in check. Looking to science for values is a very bad thing. Then you start going down the path of “life unworthy of life”.
