It is the same evidence that the rest of our body and functions evolved. Our sense of morality is no different than the other instinctual behaviors we have, and they are products of our evolutionary past.
Yet, we don't observe the evolution of morality do we? We may draw reasonable conclusions that are false as well. So what empirical evidence so we have for the evolutionary process of morality?
So there is no right or wrong. There is no good or evil.
If babies weren't baptized and havent accepted Jesus as their saviour, aren't they full of sin, and going to Hell?
What about other animals?
How do you know morality is a product of the brain?
Sure there are, they just happen to be based on subjective opinion in the same way that there is pretty and ugly, friendly and hostile, etc.
So there is no right or wrong. There is no good or evil.
No TFY, we've discussed this before. Babies go to Heaven.
Right, so in this view there is no good or evil other than what one determines to be good or evil, leaving one with no good or evil.

We also observe instinctual social behavior in other animals, and those behaviors are also a product of their evolutionary history.
Because it is the human mind that produces it. This isn't a hard concept to understand.
You do know there is no specific codon for "morality," right? It's just a word we use to describe behavior. Actions and behavior are observable, and we're the ones who ascribe a value to the behaviors.
How do you know?
How does one look at the DNA of a person and find instinctual social behavior?
Oh the concept is remarkably simple to understand, it just isn't a concept that is proven by empirical evidence.
So you know that the human brain evolved, so this means that it produced morality? That is begging the question and is circular as well. Evolution proves evolution.
We can observe actions and behaviors and we can ascribe value to them, but if we do they can't be any more important than others. Good is
not better than bad.
It is just a value that is described.
Good or evil are just words, just behaviors that are passed down in our genes which makes them inexplicable in the sense of morality or immorality.
I do know that there is no specific codon for morality, nor do I think that there is one or more for moral behavior.

Are you chastising me Papias? Disagreement is not ignorance.If we come across is too lazy to do some looking and learning ourselves, ask others to do the work to teach us, and spout claims and ask others to disprove them, we can rightly expect them to wonder what kind of religion would teach us to be intellectually stunted, and we'll have to explain to Jesus one day why we spent our lives besmirching his Holy Name.
So if we are just evolved organisms that are a product of our chemical brains, how do you determine that they would not have a place in our modern society?
How do you proclaim that they are unworthy of a place in society if morality is subjective?
What is your opinion on the morality behind Hitler being able to go to heaven after the suffering he inflicted and someone who led a much better life not going to heaven?
The morality behind Hitler being allowed in heaven at all is that all sin to God is sin. A little lie to millions dying by someone's hand. So one act of sin is only by degrees and all have the same end. I am guilty in that I am not holy enough to stand in the presence of God. We can only stand in the presence of God covered by Jesus. It is due to God having mercy on me and my sins as it is on someone like Hitler. Mercy isn't mercy if it isn't for everyone, even if we ourselves feel mercy to good for some. Forgiveness is true forgiveness or it isn't forgiveness at all.
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
Do you think for yourself? You have literally posted this site to me at least a dozen times.
You look at the DNA sequences involved in the development of the human brain. Such things are being studied in the field of Evolutionary Developmental Biology, often called Evo-Devo.
Source for the sequences that allow for morality?
It is as empirically proven as anything else. Morality is the product of humans using their brains.
Where? And please refrain from posting your link. Put your argument in your own words using your own thoughts.
I know that humans evolved. The evidence is clear on this point.
