[quote=Anonymous]Look at colonies of ants or bees and see how they cooperate. Do they cooperate because the sweet baby Jesus told them to? No, they cooperate as a result of evolution. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yes. This. Bees are an example of the mindless imperative to cooperate regardless of morality. It's when an organism becomes more intelligent, more emotionally sophisticated, that cooperation requires empathy - the desire to avoid causing pain to others, the desire to see others experience well being and joy. In the absence of a developed sense of empathy, one might require, say, an organized religion to enforce mutually beneficial behaviors. [/quote]
