      From: DaveInLakeVilla@webtv.net              'I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books which provide a       naturalistic account for our moral intuitions (ie. what is it that gives       us our basic moral urges/concience?)              "Why do you think they are 'given'? Weren't they taught to you ?       Steve M"                     REPLY: Can you then tell us how rocks, dirt, and hydrogen gas       ultimately blessed us with a moral conscience, ability to analyze       ethical systems, intuition, love, reason, rationale, et al... for,       this is what you have to have FAITH in to be an atheist .                                   Quote from Sir Arthur Keith, a noted anthropologist and devout Darwinian       Evolutionist : " Evolution is unproved and unprovable . We believe it       because the only alternative is special creation, and that is       unthinkable"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
