You misunderstood me completly. I was not speaking of science as a whole, I was speaking of the scientific method of study. Social morality has been studied and conclusions have been drawn. If you want me to elaborate-just ask or see Origins of Virtue.

Second, I said life cannot be goverened by absolutes.

Govern:regulate, bring into conformity with rules or principles or usage; impose regulations; "We cannot regulate the way people dress"; "This town likes to regulate"

By "Life cannot be goverend by absolutes" it is implied (see above) that you sould not conduct or live your life by an absolute principle or polar extreme of morality.

Third, "all giving is in the guise of self intrest". I do not feel like explaining the selfish gene theory but either accept that it has been proven or educate yourself on the subject and prove otherwise.
