Barry, you seem to have a poor understanding of the scientific world view.
It has nothing to say about ethics or religion or humanism in general, but
it can help clarify what ethics etc. talk about, and prevent such from
making egregrious claims.  The fact that some scientists have the same
poor understanding you do is no reason to foist it on all scientists.
