DEDUCED SOLELY
FROM ETHICAL JUDGMENTS.
Rather, they result from conflating
ethical judgments with factual statements.
When we descend from the ethereal sphere of philosophy
and observe historical realities, we find that religious stories almost
always include three parts: 1. Ethical judgements, such as 'HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED'.

such as 'YOU SHOULD NEVER ALLOW ABORTION, EVEN A SINGLE DAY AFTER CONCEPTION'. Science
has no ability to refute or corroborate the ethical judgements religions make. But scientists DÓ have a
