Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you please rephrase or elaborate on your point?
Well why would the argument for morality being proof of God counter the argument that morality evolved like everything else in the universe, the only way a Theist might try push the point is say without God there cannot be a gold standard unchanging code as God is the only Unchanging Entity that exists ( MY WORDS I KNOW) so I would suspect the Athiest say well we can have morality without god and then the question would be asked how? and of we go into how morality exists within the Framework of the Athiest system and what is the definition of said morality and qualities of said morality. I'm not an expert but thats the way i would see it evolve; i'm sure there are vets in the forum can say if thats what tends to happen or if im partially right or even wrong.

Must be England then, I apologize for lumping you in with a bunch of taste-lacking englishmen
May I be forgiven if I give you a hug?
Wonder what she'd think of those Scottish folk who like their Mars bars in batter and fried. Makes apple pie and cheese on top almost seem appealing.
