    Hmm, re-reading my post above I don't think I'm being entirely clear, but hopefully you get this jist of what I'm trying to express.

    Just to be a little clearer, the first line of my last post is addressing this point. Logical reasoning and science can be used to explore a set of moral rules and apply them to specific cases. logical reasonging and science can also be used to try to determine what the majority 'moral code' is, but they cannot be used to determine what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'.

    Science observes and models.
