Maybe physics in a narrow scope", but certainly not evolutionary biology. The above-mentioned example of human VS squirrel and an alien VS a human depicts an evolution of an organism, where our instincts and reflexes slightly evolve. How far away are we emotionally developed from animals like dolphins, elephants, or apes? Or even squirrels. And how long ago did humans acquire an advance understanding of morality, ethics, empathy?   There is a field of biology called "Evolutionary ethics".<br>If we are talking about physics, then I am sure there are hybrid scientists like biophysicists, biochemists, neuroscientists, etc. who are studying the root cause of our emotions and morals.<br>In conclusion," there is a science to our morality and ethics :)<br><a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_ethics"">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_ethics</a>",(reply>), Our ability to reason and find truth doesn't originate from our proclivity to procreate. How do we know if our reasoning is true if the whole point is to evolve and survive? Knowing 2+2 doesn't originate from our ability to create. It is not useful to our survival. Also, have you heard of the is-ought conundrum?,(reply>)," FYI: Robert Sapolsky has much better answers to questions about the relationship between science - religion - ethics/morality. <br><a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sapolsky"">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sapolsky</a><br><a href=""https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1474704918765342"">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1474704918765342</a>",(reply>), And certainly ethics does not come from religion, if anything it was hijacked by it.,(reply>), PHYSICS IS THE FOUNDATION TO ALL SCIENCE IN EXISTENCE.
