CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How Moral Is Science?
- Thread starter just a believing guy
- Start date
Why would you expect the average scientist to be any more or less moral than the average person?

No, ''real'' scientists are people known for their eccentricity.

We're not talking of the average scientists here, but of those whom the average scientists follow. We're talking of the scientists who set examples to other scientists. They are eccentric, thus, more or less, all scientists are eccentric.

Why shouldn't I be? Plenty of examples... The average scientists follow suit then, and are becoming exentric themselves.

No, it isn't. Let me ask you to name a great scientist who wasn't eccentric.

Why should you think so? Eccentricity often means lack of moral behavior, especially when great scientists are concerned.

Let´s just generously assume, for purposes of your argument, that all great scientists are eccentric, and that being eccentric often means being immoral.
Now what?

They are immoral, yes... They got their ideas from their IDOLS -- the great scientists.
