1. Are you trying to equivocate between the meanings of the word "wrong"? I said, you are wrong as in "your statements don't reflect the reality" and not as in "your statements are immoral". Thus, lying is the same as making a wrong statement - it is wrong by definition. No one is attaching a specific moral judgment to it though.
2. Again we are not "just a result of random mutations that just happened to convey some sort of survival value". What would it take to get that through your thick skull.
3. As to why your lies make you immoral here - that's because in a rational debate, both parties have an implicit contract to stick to the truth. Since this is another version of the social contract that determines morality, you, in acting against it, are immoral.

Whoever said it did?
either way your upset because of a misrepresentation, lie or false statment. You don't have any authority to tell anyone that they have to share the truth. That's where your logic takes us. Genkausaidit doesn't mean anything. Your morality is arbitrary whether you assert it or a group of people. By assuming immorality you assume morality and a standard to judge the difference.
You have no standard to judge any of this by.
BTW tell me in a few words what you think you originated from so I can get it through my thick skull.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
