Each to their own (I'm right)

We all have different views on different things; but what if everything is reducible to scientific measurement? Things like morality; what if the only law is selfishness bound by a network of systems of control?

Wouldn’t that change things significantly?

I hear a lot about the big questions, for example: why are we here? Somehow it is assumed that there must be some great meaning behind the fact that we are living, thinking beings – I mean there must be!

But what if there isn’t a ‘great’ greater meaning? What if all of these questions have a surprisingly simple answer? What if I am a collection of organic material that is functioning under universal laws – just like a robot does?

Someone has to be right and someone else wrong at the end of the day; there is no room for ambiguity. If, as Richard Dawkins says, morality is inbuilt into us as selfishness (for example the achievement of social status through altruistic behaviour) then can every question be boiled down to the measurable science of nature?
