I was responding merely to your post that a decent number of articles (as opposed to a number of decent articles, I suppose), have noted that a man might gain an an evolutionary advantage by having sex with as many women as possible. And, "That sort of flies in the face of evolutionary thought lending itself to Judeo-Christian morality."

I then asked how the theory of gravity might lend itself to Judeo-Christian morality.

I believe you are mistaking an observation (utterly unremarkable, in my opinion), that the more widely an organism's genes are distributed, the greater evolutionary advantage it has, for a prescription that this actually happen. No one is saying is a good way to run a society.

My point is that the Theory of Evolution is no more aligned with Judeo-Christian morality than any other scientific theory.

I was responding to another poster who stated, in the context of a discussion on morality that we were having, that our Judeo-Christian morality is good biology and good evolutionary thought.

My comment was meant to indicate that evolutionary thought does not track with Judeo-Christian morality.

A claim was made that good morals is good evolution. Xzins was responding to it. He didn't make it.
