Brian,
Fight vs. flight, nature vs. nurture, positive vs. negative. You attempt to digest things until you can bean count, and then choose the side that has more beans.
Science allows us to build a nuclear warhead, science allows us to place the warhead over a city half the world away, science allows us to detonate it from afar, and science enables us to predict what type of destruction we can expect.
Science provides all this, yet is incapable of determining whether or not the technology should be used. You can agree. You can disagree. Either way, you are using philosophy at this point; it's unavoidable.
TEGH made the observation in another thread; despite your disdain for the word 'philosophy', you use philosophical arguments to deny its use. Regardless of your conviction in this matter, the joke is on you.
