Is morality possible without God

[Benuty]

Tengri isn't Omnipotent.

You get my point.

Still you left the door open.

[Benuty]

Because genetic diversity rather than progression is the priority of why life evolves?

Umm evolution doesn't have a priority, it is just a function of life on this planet.

Wasn't using that in the actual sense that evolution was somehow self aware mind you.

[New United States of Columbia]

Like I said I horribly simplified the theory but you get my points: If evolution is an ongoing process why haven't we evolved since the time of the Sumerians and why are our "Predecessors" still around when they should be sixty feet deep?

You just said evolution is an ongoing process, so yes, we have evolved. We are evolving.

Okay how? If I jump off a cliff I don't get wings or the ability to fly. Neither would I get that a thousand years in the future or a thousand years in the past. How are we evolving exactly?

[Benuty]

Of course this question only works in this universe.

At least in the DC universe with the death of the old gods, and the rise of the new one could claim morality was held to a higher force.

Do you actually have any understanding of what evolution is or explains?

Perhaps the unfortunate circumstances of a bad attempt at poe's law apply with them.

You don't understand what evolution is.

Let alone basic biology if they are indeed serious.

It is a shame really.

You really have no grasp on what evolution actually is do you?

Read this, and get back to us once you have a basic understanding of what you're talking about.

Question for you.

Did you even go through Middle/High school, or whatever your country's equivalent is?

That's not evolution, that's just trying to get a Darwin Award.

Evolution takes place over millions of years.

A decent one at that.

[Rhyfelnydd]

A decent one at that.

Perhaps bronze. With the inscription "Why haven't I suddenly sprouted wings?"

Guys I think he was kidding.

Around here, you never quite know.

Atleast I hope he was kidding

We all do...

[Stagnant Axon Terminal]

Short answer: Yep.
Long answer: You betcha.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Then again, where does that instinct come from?

Our evolved brains.

What makes it valuable to live?

Not being dead.

The instinct we have to live is part of God's design for our nature.

Or it's just... nature.

Indeed it is a basic instinct, a basic instinct installed by God.

Source? Because I think science and biology has already established it's developed on its own.

Someone skipped every science class past the first grade.

That is not how evolution works.

[Dyakovo]

No, it doesn't, and what some people are convinced of is wholly irrelevant to what is.

You can't say that with any degree of certainty.

Yes, I can. Just because someone is convinced that "God" exists, it doesn't mean that he does. Just like if someone is convinced "God" doesn't exist doesn't mean that he doesn't. Whether or not he exists is completely unaffected by whether someone is convinced of it or not.

...I'm just about done with this kind of thinking.

Our thought processes and physical build have changed over the past tens of thousands of years. And that's a REALLY short time for evolution.

If you'd read any biology textbook ever (starting with Darwin's On the Origin of Species, if you decide to be a prick and find something Aristotle wrote), you'll find any major evolutionary change takes millions and millions of years. And we evolve for practical purposes, not so we can jump off cliffs.

Wanting to live is a basic intinct all animals have, a dirty has nothing to do with it.

Then again, where does that instinct come from? What makes it valuable to live? The instinct we have to live is part of God's design for our nature. Indeed it is a basic instinct, a basic instinct installed by God.

1. We have evolved brains. That is where our instincts come from.

2. The answer to your second question is not being dead.

3. Its natural. 'God' isn't part of it.
4. Right.....
