FlorenceArt thinks that there is a very small impact of biology on ethics and that by far the greater influence is socialization. Tom thinks that the impact of biology is greater than FlorenceArt grants - though he grants that socialization is significant.
Lets assume there is a fact of the matter, the philosophically interesting question is how would we determine whether FlorenceArt or Tom is right. if either of them are, or if neither of them is, how we would determine that.
Suppose we took a poll and found that 86% of people thought that between 1% and 3% of our ethical behaviour is biologically determined. Would that "prove" that it was true? If it wouldn't, what would - or what would prove it wasn't true?
