What specific question do you think I am avoiding? I have given the reasons why we have the moral feelings we have. I have expressed why those moral feelings lead to a man beating his wife to be wrong. I have described why such moral feelings in no way imply the existence of a deity. And I have pointed out that this all is consistent with materialism.
What else are you wanting me to address?
1.) How you came to the conclusion that morals are the result of evolution?
2.) Do you think that there is really something wrong with a man beating his wife, or is it just a social convention, that could have evolved otherwise?
And I'll some more (related)
3.) Can something be morally wrong, in spite of social convention or popular endorsement? Can one society or individual be judged as being more moral than another?
