Evolution cannot account for morality
#29
RE: Evolution cannot account for morality
I would agree. We cannot get what is normally thought of as morality from evolution. We also can't get it from the Judeo-Christian god. I imagine that goes for Allah, as well.

This simply means that morality is a bit of a head-scratcher. The most obvious answer is that morality as commonly conceived doesn't exist. It's just an error to think that things are right or wrong independent of specific interests. The idea that there is good in the moral sense that isn't based on good in the sense of instrumental utility would just be an error.
