If I may, those are not the only possible sources. There have been several threads on offered on Free Republic discussing the concept of Intelligent Design as an alternative to evolution, or primordial ooze, if you prefer. As far as I can discern, they do not posit that God must be that intelligence. So, we have the possibility of another intelligence as a source of humanity. Might that other intelligence have absolutes? I'll say, yes, it might.

Who is the intelligent designer if not God? What source of intelligence would that be other than God? Aliens? (LOL) In fact, most IDers are Christians (Dembski, e.g.). Arguing from intelligent design is just a crafty way of arguing backwards from the observable particulars.

I've already given you my moral absolute: Liberty. Its source is the process that created us. In other words, we were created in such a way that liberty is a moral absolute. It is moral because we have the choice of denying liberty. But, if we deny liberty, dire consequences will ensue. Dire consequences always have and always will result from enslavements.

What is its source? I keep asking and asking and you just keep repeating the same ole inadequate mantra. WHO created us?

That is what I believe. Don't bother asking me to prove it, it a belief, just as you believe in God but cannot prove His existence.

Your belief is a non-rational pie-in-the-sky leap of faith.
