Sure, no objection there. Science can tell us all sorts of facts about what is, it just can't tell us what the moral consequences of those facts are, and Harris sometimes / often seems to deny that, and appears to claim that science can tell us what we ought to do. I think that's a mistake.

I also think he's wrong about free will :) per ceoln.wordpress.com/2012/05/28 and about various other things. And that's fine, really.

(I'm less comfortable with his saying bad things about say Islam that he for whatever reason doesn't say, or doesn't say as often, about Christianity, and about his association with Rogans and Petersons and such, but that's wandering from the subject a bit.)
