Summary/Abstract: The proposition that science and morality are indispensable for the sustainability and prosperity of nations is an idea that finds broad support in academic and theological circles. The centrality of science to the advancement of our societies is self-evident, as the technological innovations that have arisen from scientific inquiry have enabled us to solve some of our most pressing challenges. However, the importance of morality is equally salient, as it provides a moral compass for our actions and decisions. In the absence of such ethical guidance, the fruits of scientific endeavor may result in unethical practices that ultimately cause harm to individuals and society as a whole. Thus, it is imperative that we continue to accord both science and morality the respect and attention they deserve, recognizing that they are fundamental to our pursuit of progress, prosperity, and sustainability.
