Why science and religious fatih need not be in conflict: It's as easy as 1-2-3!

For instance this is what Neo-Scholastic wrote:
"I’m saying that moral realism is a properly basic belief. It only loses its warrant if there is a valid objection or defeater. A properly functioning conscience operating in an environment amenable to its use prompts us with what appear to be real moral imperatives. It is no different than a properly functioning memory allows someone to recall past events. It’s not perfect; people forget. Or they’re too tired to think. And sometimes people disagree. But it is silly to conclude based on its limitations that there are no facts about the past. Everyone assumes their memories are true until shown otherwise. It is the same with moral imperatives."

And this is what Hitler wrote in "Mein Kampf":
"faith is often the sole foundation of a moral attitude" and "various substitutes that have been offered have not shown any results that might warrant us in thinking that they might usefully replace the existing denominations. But if religious teaching and religious faith were once accepted by the broad masses as active forces in their lives, then the absolute authority of the doctrines of faith would be the foundation of all practical effort."

They both talk how when ever you try to make a substitute for God/ religion as source of morality you delude yourself and fail. This is because message of Christianity is that being good is not natural. Being good requires you to overcome your own self-interest. That humans are naturally deceitful, innately evil, and inherently bad. That only trough listening to Jesus' stories you can overcome your "natural evil persona".

Oh it funnier then that if we take Reformed at it's word the Nazi's were totally "warranted" in killing the Jews because of group think and triggers
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
