RE: Well, as I’m sure you know Darwin didn’t theorize about the origins of life and I don’t think anyone rational would claim that we aren’t to some degree the product of variation and natural selection.

I’m talking about RANDOM variation without purposeful guidance from a higher mind. This is what I’m trying to point at ( and this is related to the article as well ).

Even if God followed some natural selection process, it has to be GUIDED somehow.

Now, if you are saying that God is involved in this natural selection process via His providence, then we have a basis for believing in the preamble of Declaration of Independence and all the moral points that come with it.

But I don’t think this is what Darwinists like Richard Dawkins is saying.

Fair enough. If you believe that I'm not going to argue.

Could a being produced via guided natural selection have morals?

If you say God's intervening to guide selection why couldn't he intervene to give us a moral code?
