Moral Argument for God's Existence

[genkaus]

How so? I wonder what the murder rate amoungst ape tribes are compared to people. Probably not that bad. Why are some dogs aggressive and some passive and friendly. It's in the genes. Obviously genes can change our behavior, desires, sex drive etc. All things that are mish mashed into our morality. Even if you could sufficiently make the case that our morals were different, so what? Elephants and Lions have huge differences in morals. Pretty much every species is difference, of course humans are. I think the case is pretty well argued and researched. Certainly not shitty (like the Goddidit argument, which is always shitty.)

Apes who murder other apes are not held morally culpable for their actions. Aggressiveness and passiveness in dogs is similarly regarded as part of their nature - not something they bear moral responsibility for. The effect of genes maybe mish-mashed into our morality, but the extent of that effect can be separated and to the extent it is responsible for behavior, desires, sex-drive etc. we do not hold people morally responsible for them. This is not a difference in content - like moral differences of elephants and lions - it is a fundamental difference in its nature. The "evolution of morality" argument specifically addresses the precursors of human morality - but morality itself has come a long way from that. Ignoring all the other factors responsible for development of morality and limiting the answer to just evolution makes for a shitty argument.
