There are consequences when you break a law. Just how far do you think you can fall without getting hurt? 10, 20, 30 feet? The law of gravity may not "break" your fall, but the ground sure will and it may break you also.
Moral laws are the same as physical laws in that there are consequences. Yet science does not want the moral laws taught to our young people.

Ugh - this is why it's dangerous for scientists to adopt words that have prior meanings when formulating laws - however intuitive the connection, there will always be some arseclowns who somehow latch onto the wrong meaning. We're not doing cryptic crosswords here, people - just because the word "break" can refer to both falls and laws doesn't mean there's a fucking connection!
Believe it or not, I didn't break my arm because god knew that I didn't love my neighbor. Also, falling goes with the law of gravity, not against it.
No, JohnR7 has it exactly backwards (what a shock), and that's the heart of the problem. Morals are NOT absolute in the way that physical laws are. That fact is the cause of many of the biggest problems we face in this world.
Fundies apparently think that because they want to introduce their idiotic claptrap into science, thereby attempting to discredit science, that science intentionally wants to not have right and wrong taught to children. This is asinine. Morals are not dependent upon religion in order to exist.
JohnRaptor - precisely! That's why they're LAWS! And furthermore, if science taught morality, it would be called ethics class. It's called science because it teaches science. School does not have to be holistic.
Moral laws have consequences imposed by society, not nature. Now, John, take your head out of your ass, and take your meds, for fuck's sake!
That's because science isn't about moral laws, you asshat (ever since I read this insult on this site, I've begun to really like it). That's covered in Civics Classes, Religious Education or even Moral Classes!
Yet science does not want the moral laws taught to our young people.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
