Science Can Answer Moral Questions

I found this short talk by Sam Harris to be rather well done. He includes some interesting support for the idea that there is or should be no such thing as moral relativity...something that Fundamentalists seem to unanimously agree upon in theory...although Mr. Harris' basis for this assertion (that morality can be derived from fact/science) couldn't be more different from that of religious fundamentalists.

"There is no pestilence in a state like a zeal for religion, independent of morality."


--Jeremy Bentham
