These sort of stories highlight the fact that without religion, there can be no morality. It is impossible to explain without any religious context why things like rape, murder, stealing, lying and whatnot are indeed wrong.

Whatever animals do in nature is natural.

Whoopi is an animal. That makes her point for her.

“There’s nothing wrong with rape or sexual aggression. That’s how we all got here!” Here’s the premise: Whatever animals do in nature is natural. What’s natural is normal. What’s normal is moral."

At the time of man when it was standard for 'rape or sexual aggression,' there was no such thing as 'moral.'

That man-made ideal came many, many years later.

Let's face it: someone with the intellectual standing and, yes, gravitas of Whoopi Goldberg must by all means be taken seriously.

Every now and then, researchers observe a chimpanzee harem, and note that the females often try to sneak away from the dominant male, to have sex with males that hang around the periphery of the harem.

They then say that because chimpanzees cheat, that it must be natural to cheat on one’s spouse.

However, they always neglect the other side of the equation. If a dominant male catches one of his females cheating with another male, he is likely to brutally kill both of them.

So, if cheating is natural, so is murdering your cheating spouse and their lover if you catch them. Just like in Texas.

Actually, there is no morality in evolutionary logic. At best an argument can be made for the importance of deceiving people into thinking that you care about them or have their best interest in mind, but that is where the logic of morality stops.

Indeed, the inner city baby daddies who are getting a dozen women to have their children should be considered to be at the top of the current evolutionary ladder. They have figured out the most efficient way to increase their gene line, while having the government (us) feed, shelter and clothe them. Sort of like human Cow Birds.

If we were just animals, then one might excuse the behavior. I’m of the opinion that Adam and Eve were given the first souls, and distinguishing them from Homo Sapien Sapiens (call us now Homo Sapien Adamsis), thereby setting mankind apart from the animal world. It allowed us to consider spiritual things, and allowed us to become spiritual beings. It provided the key element that causes us to rise above our base (animalistic) nature.

The materialists and secular humanists ignore it at their peril.

If you believe in evolution, there is nothing wrong with rape.

And the Creationist Craliban wonder why they get so little support from most Americans....

It simply doesn't get any dumber than that. An epic example of non sequitur (On par for that crowd, though.) Just because non-consensual sex may (or may not - who knows?) have played a role in evolution, it does not follow therefrom that 'rape' is condoned today by someone believing in the theory of evolution. (Otherwise, 95+ percent of males out there would be active rapists.)

I often come here wondering how low creationists can stoop this week...

Yup. They never disappoint. The level of ignorance of ridiculousness knows no bounds. After starting a rant with this, why would anyone with a brain continue reading? Mindless dreck.
