It always strikes me as too easy to say AIDS would not be a problem for us if man would just abide by god's law. One man, one woman and no cheating (or eating bush meat) and you won't have to worry about getting aides. The same can be said of murder. If people would just keep the 10 commandment, there wouldn't be any. Of course that is essentially a tautology so it isn't clear what the point of saying it might be. If everyone would just follow my mom's rule (from when I was a child) and "play nice", there would be very few hurt feelings and boo boos in the playground. But oh no, kids will be kids and that is why so many hugs and band aids are required.
If only we were different than we are by always followed a short list of rules, the world would be other than we find it. Talk about your untestable hypotheses.
