Janie BS: Logic and the laws of science (461* d) RE: BS: Logic and the laws of science 15 Jun 16


Language does trip us up at times. In logic and mathematics, true or truth, as well as 'value' has one set of meanings based as much as the human mind is capable, on evidence.

Those terms are also used to connote moral values, moral judgements, moral beliefs. The utility of moral beliefs can be documented and studied in terms of their evolutionary value - but that doesn't make them facts.

Both religious and non-religious persons typically have moral values and make belief-based moral judgements regarding behaviors or the worth of individuals in accordance with those moral belief systems. But the meaning and usage is different from how those terms are used in classical logic and mathematics.
