We are evolved from a primate line. What in their troupes causes the most conflict and chaos? What disturbs the peace the most and causes the most evil?
Quote:I would say reproduction.Then the compulsion to mate, in your telling - right or wrong- , is sin. I really don't have anything to add here that I haven't already discussed. I don't think it's a good description of sin. Sin seems to be operative even when the desire to mate is not. Additionally, the compulsion to mate as sin leaves all mating creatures evil by default, which is going to be an even harder sell when we get into the specifics of this or that organism's reproduction. Whole lotta sinful grass out there filling the wind with evil seed.
It is also in most animal species.
We are no different.
Don't mess with a naturalist.
