Philosophy studies belief, it in itself such as deism, is not a belief. It (Philosophy) seeks to extend itself beyond any particular belief system

That is your belief and opinion, not necessarily the reality of scientific opinion, which doesn't share your ideas of good and evil.
You've been trying to get Bryan to engage with you regarding your ideals, and you seem to give him credit as being a scientist. Here is what he says about good and bad:

In the ideal world anything can be idealized to fit the personal belief system.

Identification with good and evil creates the borderline between idealized personal belief systems. It's how the church manipulated humanity into destroying the enemies of the church. All you need is to identify the good and the evil and you set the stage for division and judgment.

Especially when evil is not supporting the system of division and influence, to define reality and God.

Yet blindly following idealisms without knowledge, understanding and experience, is just plain ignorance.

There are plenty who will take up a standard and a sword to fight for a cause, and many of them have nothing to fight for but a belief.

Interpretation of nature and reality is going to be subjective.

If we use the ongoing disagreement in the terms and beliefs of science as demonstrated by Orac and ImagingGeek/Bryan in the "scars of human evolution" discussion, we can observe that science has not formed a unified agreement in determinations, or policies of observaton.
