Can you show it to me?A better method for justifying murder is myriad -- discussion, belief, arbitration -- any number of non-science human consesus building methods.  They aren't good either, but science can't even address the question, so their better than that.As for taxes, are you actually saying that predictive economic models are science? Weird.  Science has no inout here because the reasons for setting tax levels are widely based on non-scientific preferences and policy goals which are thenselves immune to science.Re: you're existence, no better way I can think of, but that doesn't defeat the point tgat science cannot either.  Hypothesis: you're a figment of my imagination along with all of my perceived reality.  Test:....Seeing as these haven't seemed persuasive, can science answer why the universe exists?  To head anything off, I'm agnostic, so my question isn't pointing to a religious answer at all.  Strictly in the secular.At the end of this, it occurs to me that you've just contested my statements without stating a position of your own.  Is there a counter-position you'd like to stake out?</blockquote>
