[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Morality stems from a combination of factors, including evolutionary biology (which promotes social cooperation), cultural and societal norms, and personal conscience. It is shaped by our innate sense of empathy and fairness, as well as by philosophical reasoning and the social agreements we make to live harmoniously. Essentially, morality is both a product of our nature and environment, helping individuals and societies navigate what is considered right or wrong.[/quote]

lol.

And where exactly do cultural and societal norms come from?

There are tons of ethical concepts that are in direct opposition to evolution biology. What is your explanation for this? [/quote]

Typical. Which part of "combination" do you not understand? [/quote]

You asserted several factors and I am challenging them both.

What is your response? Or do you not have one? [/quote]

DP - your argument is stupid.  Something has multiple contributing factors and you want them to explain things as if there were only one factor?  That's not PP's position.

WTF dude can you at least try?[/quote]

Both are severely problematic and you offered zero mitigating support for how the issues are magically resolved by virtue of being multiple.

So many lack the intellectual capacity to support their assertions and claims at the most basic level.

You claim that morality stems from evolutionary biology and yet when the multitudes of problems with this claim is brought up, offer zero mitigation.

Please be serious. [/quote]

I will shout this, because maybe the third time you will hear it.

PP DID NOT SAY EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY WAS WHERE MORALITY STEMS FROM.

PP SAY IT WAS SHAPED FROM [b]A COMBINATION OF FACTORS [/b](let's count!) , including [b]1. evolutionary biology[/b] (which promotes social cooperation), [b]2. cultural and societal norms[/b], and [b]3. personal conscience[/b].

GOT IT NOW?

SOMEHOW I BET YOU DON'T.

If you have any basis for morality that can't be explained by these things, let's discuss.  I do, of course: religious basis.  That is how you get people to burn people as witches, mutilate the genitalia of young women, deny women their bodily autonomy, deny LGBT people basic human rights, and fly planes into populated office buildings.
