...all four with the an equal level of symbolic density consistent with the OT? I doubt it. While you're at it write a piece of poetry more beautiful that the Koran. I'm sure our Muslim brothers would be impressed.

And it's obvious to me that God exists, I shouldn't have to explain that, should I? The link between morality and the golden rule is most certainly intuitive, but you have not proved that they actually do tie together and why.

Evolution is amoral. Biological altruism is the kin selection of 'selfish genes' (E.O.Wilson). Nothing more, nothing less. If anything evolutionary psychology has shown us that what appears to us as moral may actually be anything but.
