I see it differently, one is human interpretation of data collected from present day society the other is human interpretation of words, written by humans, from the perspective of a much different culture. Any way you slice it, there is no way to claim objective understanding of revealed truths so the best answer is to bin the whole idea of revealed truth and rely on experimentation to test an idea against reality. Realize I am not even ruling out God here, just saying that morals would be best set through testing what works best in current day society. I would say that religion has been doing this for years to combat negative public opinion. After all, when was the last time you heard of a child being stoned to death due to insolence?
