What is human nature? Anyway, the necessary conditions of a thriving life, given the facts of pond scum nature are the basis of all morality? Or, the necessary conditions of a thriving life, given the facts of dolphin nature are the basis of all morality? etc.
Pond scum morality & dolphin morality look a lot different than human morality, I suspect. What kind of moral principles would be necessary for the development of the kind of pond scum society where pond scum can become the best pond scum they can be?
After 6000 years of human history, modern man is still denying human nature. Christianity has it right. Left to himself man tends to rebel against God. He is different from the animals in his ability to appreciate and create art, to be altruistic, to reason, to speak to choose. He is basically sinful, not basically good. Evolutionists see man as a machine, without free will, only a "higher" animal with an inexplicable religious drive, without special value, basically good.
Which view corresponds to reality?
