[QUOTE="Joshua260, post: 66072238, member: 318224"] "If … men were reared under precisely the same conditions as hive-bees, there can hardly be a doubt that our unmarried females would, like the worker-bees, think it a sacred duty to kill their brothers, and mothers would strive to kill their fertile daughters, and no one would think of interfering." Charles Darwin. Apparently, Darwin himself thought that we could have just as easily evolved with a [B]different[/B] set of morals. As is often the case when discussing morals with atheists, they often confuse the evolution of morals within mankind, which no one denies, with the discussion about whether or not there are objective moral values and duties. So if Hitler had won the war and had brainwashed the rest of the world into thinking that anti-semitism was acceptable, would it then be ok, morally? Or was Slavery wrong, even back during the antebellum years when the world thought it was an acceptable practice? Or go back to the Darwin quote...is the act of an unmarried woman killing her brothers or daughters an objectively wrong thing to do, even if we had evolved to think it acceptable? [/QUOTE]
