I wish you luck. I personally think moral thinking evolves.

I also think evolution is not the same as progress. So it is possible for moral thinking to improve at times and regress at time. The current thinking about slavery is, I think, and example of improvement over time.

You're absolutely right - there is this misconception that evolution means "always getting better."

We see the opposite in action in Asia right now with a certain elephant population. Elephants born without tusks have a harder time foraging for food, but as hunters kill elephants for their tusks the tuskless ones live and pass on their genes in greater numbers. In this case, the elephant population is evolving into a "lesser" version due to predation.

My spelling seems to be evolving. I note that this post passes right through the spell checker.

Thank you.
We must be in a state of regress.
Yes, in the United States, slavery has been outlawed, but it is all to prevalent around the globe.
