Moral Absolutes, Hmmm... If a consensus of persons with a particular expertese could show with a high degree of confidence, that it is a faulty source(the Bible) from which some people get their moral absolutes, then the problem would be left with human government, as it is.
Or, would it? The emotions of some(?) who hold to the idea of 'moral absolutes' are usually so strong that many scientific studies that could demonstrate the reality of the faulty source would be ignored or possibly attacked with hideous vitriol. Heck, If we were living in the dark ages, it would mean war. How quickly the flare of emotions would produce the opposite of what Jesus was supposed to have taught.
