Ok - look at the 10 commandments. Fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with any of those commandments, as ethical precepts. I'd agree there's a lot that's iffy about, say, Leviticus, but I've just as much right to eschew that as you have the right to disprove String theory. The truth of both matters, of course, is that it's bigger men than you or I who make a difference. But you still get the odd Sri Ramakrishna or Andrew Wiles popping up here or there.
I'm not essentially arguing against science, I'm arguing about science as a mode of fostering spritual, ethical and moral 'rightness'.
