Are you sure? People are beginning to see how "values" can be acquired through evolution -- because they have survival value. Ways of thinking or of acting that have survival value -- survive. The process is not perfect, but obviously neither are we.

btw, shall we ditch art too? I mean art is certainly not true, it's perception of reality is subjective and problematic...
Perceptions can be studied and understood in terms that are psychologically revealing... and interesting (to me)!

My definition of 'science' is "the study of how things work". It is not a set of rules and regulations -- though some seem to think it is. All kinds of things can be studied -- art, us.
