You can't prove a negative (parody)

This maybe be true, I wish I knew. But the question is, if it was false, would we be fools to believe in it? Would we be believing in false wisdom? Would we be pathetic for wishful thinking it is true?

Does evolution favour beliefs that are true all the time, or does it favour beliefs that work and benefit humanity?

Our concept of identity, we work better with it. Belief in free-will, we function with it. The human experience is what it is.

I myself am not sure about morality, free-will, praise, value, human rights. This is something perhaps most Atheists have even more faith in than me.

I tend to want to believe in it. I tend to think even if I come to disbelieve in them, I should act as if they exist from a practical point of view.

But I would love to hear your explanation of why denying morality is real is nonsensical from the naturalism perspective. I say this, because it, seems identity of self, morality, praise, all this is just made up belief with no essence to attribute the quality to from naturalism perspective. I say this because evolution would've developed this concept in conjugation with magical thinking.
