con-science

My first post is not the first thing I ever thought of, but the thought that created this blog. Here goes with my bulleted thoughts...

• conscience is con-science (as presently formulated)
• "con" refers to how conscience and science are incommensurable
  
• conscience includes morality/ethics, moral agency, and meanings
• conscience is the way that God gets through to all of us and tells us the basic moral code we should be living
  
• science (as presently formulated) seeks to describe the world (through observation/experimentation and theorizing) but not to explicitly prescribe how we should live in the world
• I say "explicitly" here since science (especially psychology) tells us what good and bad are through its research methods, conclusions, and applications (e.g. therapy)
• I may one day come back to "explicitly," although a few of my peeps have already covered the topic well

That's all for the first post. Stay tuned for more musings (as they come to me).
