What I cannot get past is this absurd notion that morality cannot exist with out a god. The fact that your whole "argument," which is set up to "prove" this idea, falls completely out of the realm of common sense only compounds the issue.
Ok which premise do you have an issue with now? Attacking the conclusion without the argument doesn't make sense. So tell me which premise do you have an issue with.
Can you provide any argument-free facts for your premise?
Evidence for naturalistic morality:
"Morality" is a behavioral quality, and there is strong genetic linkage between genes and behavior. Physical regions of the brain are strongly linked with behavioral functions, and behavior can be altered through surgery, as well as the more commonly observed medications. While it doesn't have wholly isolated divisions, your behavior would certainly not be the same without every region of your brain working properly. Alterations to an existing brain can in demonstrable fact alter, and fundamentally, one's personality. There is overwhelming proof that some alterations can change the most honest, gentle person into a cunning and cruel monster, and vice-versa.
I'm neither a neurosurgeon nor a genetic biologist, but the above statements are to some extent supported by those who are the world over - go google it!
If you have evidence to support your position, then it would necessarily contradict the above evidence. Got any?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
