I can't prove that there is no god any more than I can prove that there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster or that Osama Bin Laden isn't playing poker with Elvis and Bigfoot on some uncharted desert island. Neither can you. Proving God in this world is easy... All you have to do is look around you. It ...

Personally, I believe that an objective moral code has come into being as the result of the gradual evolution of human societies. To put it simply, behaviors that are beneficial to the strength and stability of a given society are what we see as morally good behaviors and behaviors that lead to wea...

What natural moral code? The law of the jungle and natural selection is hardly indicative of anything being valued above survival and reproduction. I suspect the male preying mantis being devoured after mating is not conceptualizing on the justice or injustice of it all. ;) The Law of the Jungle is...

As for the morals of Atheist, I didn't really think they all had rules to live by. I though they just live. Doesn't mean atheist go around murdering people but I don't think an atheist has to have a Bible to know that murder or stealing or anything else like that is wrong. That's just common sense....

Re: Can Science be ethical???
