::::::Another aside: So there's no connection or relevence between scientific proof, the scientific method, and morality?  Thanks for clearing that up.  The Nazi Doctors must've had, as you say, provisionally accepted truth.  [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 06:52, 22 November 2009 (EST)

Well now that I'm back I can address that point. You appear to have muddled the issues up a bit. I was not passing moral judgement on scientific discoveries, I was simply saying that a scientific 'truth' is not the same as a moral 'truth'. What the Nazi 'doctors' were doing was not even science, it was just butchery with the name science applied to it. With the issue of slavery, science can tell us that what something is/how something works. It cannot tell us whether we should do something. Of course there's a connection between science and morality, but the scientific method is not a method of judging whether something is morally right or wrong, morality comes in when deciding how to use the results of scientific enquiry.

It cannot tell us whether we should do something, though it can form a platform from which to make such decisions.
