The Bible says: "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends."
I was wondering if the Atheistic Evolutionists could explain how this works. We know that Love is a very powerful, even if there are different kinds of love. In this case we talk about the love that one friend has for another (philía, Greek: φιλία).
For Evolution - Self-preservation is a behavior that ensures the survival of an organism. Would this not create some sort of a conflict that a organism would be willing to sacrifice itself for the preservation of something other then itself.
As Christians we are told: "Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High" Does this then become a law onto itself. If we love others or if we do good onto others then good will come back to us?
Just how does an organism preserve itself by sacrificing itself?
