This article has zero substance. I can summarize it in two sentences: “Morals don’t have to come from God, and in fact they don’t. They come from man.” It doesn’t tell us anything.

Hudgins presumes to answer the most difficult problem in all of moral philosophy but fails to include a description of his answer. He rambles a bit about “rational capacity” and such, but gives not a speck of substance describing any basis for absolute morality independent of divine command.

That is a true evolutionary believer statement.

Yet the moral code of our Constitution original judicial system all came from the Bible whether you accept it or not.

If evolution is true why would any one want to have morals? If it is survival of the fittest would not the strongest of our ancestors just killed any one who was a threat? Why would they care about lying? Would not it be easier just to lie and care less of the implications it had on the weaker? Why would adultery matter? We could be like dogs and not have a mate for life. What is wrong with envy? So a few people get robbed of possessions. Why should you have respect for your parents you are the evolutionary superior are you not?

Knowledge does not equal wisdom.
