(I do not believe the universe has any opinion on murder, therefore it isn't wrong in an absolute sense, but due to human norms and certain cultural and evolutionary advantages it is (practically) universally considered immoral). |
Those human norms in regard to murder also arose through evolution, otherwise absolutely nothing would have ever started to evolve in the first place. Extremely simplistic example: If all those early organisms ate each other because they were hungry, the earth would be unpopulated. Morality is based on evolution for the atheist. There is absolutely no way to get around that fact. I have no clue why you people cannot acknowledge this. |
Errr.....no.
Human norms come about for many different reasons, biological evolution is one thing that may well have contributed significantly. Alternatively, primitive human religion (and newer religions as well, if they were dominant in a certain area) as well as government actions based upon individual opinions.

You NEVER seem to address the fact that the grand majority of people supporting Darwinism in these on line forums and blogs are atheists. That doesn't seem to bother you guys in the least. - FtK
