विकल्प

• If science is not accepted, then the foundations of morality are not shaken

• If foundations of morality are shaken, then science is acceptable

• If science is accepted, then foundations of morality are shaken

• Though science is accepted, it cannot shake the foundation of morality

Answer 1

If science is accepted, then foundations of morality are shaken

Explanation:

In the given argument, science and critical thinking are considered to be related. Similarly, religion is related to dogma. As dogma is not acceptable, therefore religion is not acceptable. The argument also says that critical thinking shakes the foundation of morality. So, 'If science is accepted, then foundations of morality are shaken' is correct.
