It's not contrary, it's indifferent, like plumbing. It's only about what works. Science can help us be more moral if that's what we want, but it can't tell us to want it.

Maybe the suggestion is wrong. Or maybe it's right, and city life began as some sort of misfire of our natural urge to congregate which evolved under conditions in which cities were impossible. How does that bear on morality?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
