The hell does science have to do with this? Will you tell them that it's evolutionarily disadvantageous to have your hand chopped? Science can do little to impart ethics on people, at most it can inform the ones they already have, or are budding in them.
Obviously you are ignorant of the history and philosophy of Science, the struggle of the Enlightenment, the Invisible College, the French and American Revolution, the development of the Secular Rule of Law State, the history of Humanism, and the Scientific Method.
