[MD] Is Morality innate in the cosmos?

[Heather Perella]

Mike and Arlo, and others who have stated something
like this,

     I think an real example of the literal mythos of
today is what Stephen Jay Gould has called the
Hardening of Theory.  This "Hardening" he says, gets
to the point where it will shelve other ideas, facts,
or data just because the current theory has hardened
in a way that keeps it from accepting these anomalies.
 He used this concept of Hardening in what Gould
called the Hardening of the Synthetic Theory [the
combined theory of Darwins' Natural Selection working
with Microbiology (or genes).  I can't think of the
latter's name at this moment.  He was a monk who
worked with peas.].  This Hardening was in the
scientific community until Niles Eldridge (the fossils
he found) and Stephen Jay Gould (the thought he
provided) needed another explanation for what they saw
from eyes and hands being with dirt and rock on this
earth.  Other paleontologists have found data
(fossils) that support Eldridges finds as well.  Its'
interesting that this occurred (their findings), I 
believe, in the 1970's, and how Gould got to the point
where he was pointing not just at the science, but at
the scientific community, too.  This is because of
what Gould saw as a Hardening of Perspective about the
World; and what others, such as Mike and Arlo have
stated as a literal mythos as Mike mentioned in his
discussion on Thu Feb 9 15:42:37 PST 2006.

P.S. Arlo, am I correct in saying that what you are
defining as mythos is something not totally logical?
