But my own layman's perception is that bad morals makes bad science. Not just in questions of medical ethics...but in terms of simple accuracy. I think its a harsh moral challenge to be willing to toss away years of hard work on a theory just because the evidence has turned against it...and then humbly adjust your thinking and carry on...especially when it means giving up the funding that might be politically motivated...and of course risking your career and reputation among other researchers who are less willing to follow the evidence....but thank God for those who were moral enough (as well as bright and hard working enough) to make real progress!
When satan offered the world and all that is in it to Jesus if He would bow down to him, Jesus did not fall for the temptation because His seed of godness remained within Him. How difficult it must be for a mere mortal scientist to face such temptation, with the evil one whispering in his ear that to ‘take this path which is anti-Life and the rewards will be beyond averice in gain’. Of course we also have arrogant little vermin who will fabricate a ‘hockey stick’ to graner research funds. Satan doesn’t have to offer those much for them to sell their souls.
