Evolution cannot account for morality

[chiknsld]

Appeal to authority much? So the only people that can prove anything in life are at Harvard I suppose? Did you know that people in academia were at one time just a regular person? They might have even scoured the internet -mind-blowing eh?

I mean, there is not really an opinion that is utter garbage lol. Even someone who espouses the most deplorable opinions are still possibly worth listening to. And I am not talking about some sort of social deviant that is trying to waste your time. I'm talking about someone who has a legitimate reasoning for their opinion and is having a conversation with you. It may be possible that you are wrong even if you disagree and this at the very least makes it worth listening to what they have to say. At a certain point, just as long as both sides are reasonable, some sort of common ground should be possible or at least there should be an appreciation for the conversation itself and for the willingness of both sides to reciprocate an honest, fair, and approachable assessment of each others ideas.

This may of course be too much to ask of the social deviant though. The persons who have hidden agendas, malicious intentions, etc. Someone with a hidden agenda is not interested in proper discourse.

1. Pointing out that no one here's an expert or is likely to solve any questions of the universe is not an appeal to authority it's having a sense of humility.

2. Yes there are opinions that are utter garbage but I never said don't listen to them in fact explicitly said the opposite. Honesty or lack of has no bearing on the quality of an opinion. Someone can dishonestly hold a correct position and honestly hold a completely nonsensical one.

You've got a lot to learn.
