If I were being really honest, I would say I feel morality is built into my gut. But I think that only empathy is built into my gut. Much of morality is taught.
If you were to ask where I think it comes from, I would say it's a product of both biological and cultural evolution.
It being built in your gut says nothing about whether you should acknowledge it or value it. Also empathy being natural says nothing about whether it's wrong to ignore more then to act upon it.
Also whether it comes from both biological and cultural evolution, says nothing about whether we should acknowledge it or have faith in it.
So at the end, this doesn't answer the question.
