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'.

3. A conflation of the ethical judgements with the factual statements, resulting in practical guidelines
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
lòt to say about religious factual statements?! Biologists are more qualified
than priests to answer factual questions such as 'DÓ HÚMAN
FETUSES HAVE A NERVOUS SYSTEM
ONE WEEK AFTER CONCEPTION?
Can they feel pain?'
