What would scientists say if North Korea nuked their labs? Not much.
Two articles about rogue nations underscore the importance of morality for science.
In Iran, a shady market for papers flourishes (Science Magazine). Readers of scientific papers naively assume that the authors are honest. It presupposes a moral code among scientists: to understand nature, everyone must report findings correctly, striving to maintain the dignity and integrity of science. This story shows that one cannot assume everyone follows that moral standard. A shady business of papers-for-hire is flourishing in Iran...
North Korea’s nukes are nearly ready for launch. Now what? (New Scientist). Science can describe how atomic bombs and missiles work, but it cannot stop their evil use. New Scientist (emphasis on scientist) is worried that North Korea could nuke America....

That pic is a perfect ad for the orthodontist.
Not only should we not be surprised by evil, we should expect it. Evolution predicts unblinking savagery.
They need to have a nuclear "accident", with plausible deniability. But it will take a new CIC; the current one will never do what's right.
Roger that. People like Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin & Mao were all true to evolutionist dogma.
What should be surprising is goodness in any form.
Ask a materialist to hand you a quart of affection.
I believe in de-evolution. Man isn’t coming from the apes, he is going to them.
I expect Idiocracy. And current events aren’t letting me down.
This is so righ- as Bridgette Gabriel said in a brilliant answer to a muzzie question- THE PEACEFUL MAJORITY ARE IRRELEVANT
Here is what atheism (not atheists) says. Two brothers help an old lady with bags of groceries to cross the street - molecules in motion. Two brothers perpetrate the Boston Marathon bombing - molecules in motion. Even most atheists do not believe these arguments of atheism.
Atheism has some ad hoc explanations for our sense of morality. Must be evolution. Or, societal indoctrination. But none of these explanations affirm morality. It’s easy enough to say “I will ignore the evolutionary imprint that controls other people.” Or, “I will ignore societal indoctrination and do my own thing.”
Helping a old lady in need IS good. It’s not just that it SEEMS good to some people. The Boston Marathon Bombing WAS wrong. It’s not just that it SEEMS wrong to some people.
If you believe, as I do, that some actions really are good, and others bad, it opens up a lot of questions. Why is it good or bad? Why do we think it is good or bad?
I don’t think atheism has satisfactory answers to those questions.
They would say itmboils,down to “it makes me feel good”, ie personal happiness, self esteem, and that releases endorphins and other good chemicals in my body for my benefit.
Everything has to have a self centered reason under their worldview.
