Animals always act in accordance with their imprinted nature. A lion eats his cubs (if he can) and doesn't feel bad about it later - instinct is correct. However, almost all humans recognize moral values even though they very often violate them! For example, Nazis hid the death camps from the world because they knew that mass murder was wrong - even if they rationalized pure evil as a necessary thing. If morals are and evolutionary instinct how can we go against them? If evil behavior is an evolutionary instinct how come most people feel remorse when we do something "mean" or "cruel"? The only way to explain our morals and behaviors is we are fallen creatures and God is good!Jeffnoreply@blogger.com
