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.

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?

That is exactly what I’m trying to drive at. If Moral codes are absolute and binding to humans, like the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, it cannot come from Darwinism (as espoused by many of them, Richard Dawkins comes to mind).

However, if the materialistic Darwinists are right, then I can’t see how morality can be objectively real. Murder is just as natural as a lion devouring a lamb. There would also be no objective moral basis for calling slavery wrong.
