It is instructive to learn what Darwinian philosophy, taken to its ultimate conclusion, leads to.
He'll be wormfood in about 30-40 years, completely and utterly forgotten.
Actually, it wasn't Moses who established the Death Penalty. It was God, recorded in Genesis 9...hundreds of years before Moses.

So Jesus when Jesus said "It is finished" he wasn't quite through.
"Matt. 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. "
The law lacks any provision requiring "fulfillment." The law is an accusation against sin; as long as we remain in sin, the law remains in effect. We can rise above the law only by rising out of our sinful condition.
>>This guy is a piece of work. Now it was the *law* as given by Moses that set for the death penalty for specific law breaking. Christ said he came NOT to change one jot or tittle (Matthew 5:18) of the law that means the law is still in effect.
Yes I know that many Christians claim the *law* was fulfilled but they are wrong.<<
That is intereting, because the Matthew 5: 17,18 actually says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
If these people are wrong, what do you suppose Jesus meant he was fulfilling?
