Thanks for a quick illustration of #16.
Please don't shout on your next post, OK? Thanks.

May I try?
Morality is the consequence of volitional choice.
Genetic origins are independent of volition.
How'd I do?

Wouldn't that be 'intra'-species evolution--adaptation you are talking about?

You didn't miss anything. He defended the author of this silly article by citing the fact that a different guy who writes other articles has lots of degrees.
The all-caps was intended to add the weight of import that his words failed to carry, I guess.

How'd I do?OK I guess.
But will other creatures someday 'evolve' enough to form a collective moral code among their species? If we did it, can they also?
I'll keep an eye out for that, as well as the 'missing link'.

'intra'-species evolutionYes - the opposite of CROSS-species evolution.

I can't even articulate speculation.
Your long distance vision is sharper than mine.

"Were it not for the existence of sin in the world, says Calvin, human beings would believe in God to the same degree and with the same natural spontaneity displayed in our belief in the existence of other persons, or an external world, or the past. This is the natural human condition; it is because of our presently unnatural sinful condition that many of us find belief in God difficult or absurd. The fact is, Calvin thinks, one who does not believe in God is in an epistemically defective position-rather like someone who does not believe that his wife exists, or thinks that she is a cleverly constructed robot that has no thoughts, feelings, or consciousness. Thus the believer reverses Freud and Marx, claiming that what they see...
as sickness---is really health and what they see as health is really sickness."

"Absurd" seems more descriptive.
For you--evolution...'OZARKS' is better!
