Evidence for naturalistic behavior:
"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. 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 mind 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.

If you have evidence to support your position, then it would necessarily contradict the above evidence. Got any?

The guy with the railroad spike through his head...that was some crazy shit!

That should have been "alterations to existing brain", not "mind" (for those who think there's a difference), plus other errors and qualifications to my statements fixed.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
