Which is a prevalent perception, acknowledged in variety of religious writings, including Plato: “ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato
Goodness is part light and evil is part of the dark.
I can recognize the holocaust is dark, and most people would understand what I mean by this, even if it’s undefinable in words.
A question that is answerable by science is best answered by science not by religious writings.
If it’s regarding what it essence is a non-natural reality that it can’t be answered by science, since
Science operates on conclusions formed on the basis of methodological naturalism.
Science can operate on the natural peripheral elements, but can’t take a position on this reality itself.
Scientist who are of the view that only a natural reality exists, would likely suggest it’s just an illusion, the position many of them like EO Wilson, Michael Ruse, Alex Rosenberg take on the objectiveness of morality.
