You are saying morality emerged from wild animal ape-dom and has ‘evolved’ to what it is today.

I never once said anything about apes or apedom.

It's impossible to have a rational discussion with someone who refuses to respond to what I WROTE and insists, repeatedly, on telling ME what *I* said, and then asking me to back up HIS twisting of my words.

You are right Dark, here is what you said:
(knowledge of good and evil)“emerged over thousands of years of human behavior”...
and you said you, “...never once said anything about apes or apedom.”

Now it sounds like you are implying humans are not from apes? Do you believe in evolution? Or are you saying this emergence of good and evil is a really modern emergence long after we dwelled in caves?
Please explain. What time frame did humans gain this knowledge of good and evil?

There is no rational discussion on this point when you cannot prove your point. You have no text or data whatsoever that can come close to explaining why only a single species on the planet has the knowledge of good and evil. It is all your theory or a complacency to accept any glossy losely termed ‘explanation’ as long as its under the evolutionary umbrella.

I can tell you and show you good and evil exist. I can show you what the Bible says about its origins. I can tell you only humankind possesses knowledge of good and evil. And I can tell you that if you think we are merely a modern segment in a long chain of animal evolution, we would NOT have magically “emerged” at any point in time....with any form of a moral code. If so, prove it well beyond your words here: “emerged over thousands of years of human behavior”...
