If you study ancient history you at best learn that hunter/gatherer is one of the most ancient form of human co-existence. Hunt/kill and eat food.
As very ancient humans developed to agricultural societies which eventually was the spark of civilization; it was all simply about learning to exist and survive in very small groups (10-100ish).
Once it was no longer about transient groups of hunter/gatherer societies which were tiny; we developed into small agricultural societies. Say there was 50 of us living in this group; it was benefitial to benefit the group as a whole in order to survive. So killing each other = bad, raping = bad, murder = bad..
This predates modern Christianity by thousands of years.
The ancient world was all about the harvest. The ancient world was all about respecting the zodiac.
So do Sponges learn morality, wow. I have not seen a more ridiculous question in my time.
Sorry Trout, I cannot for the life of me Fathom your comment and I would love to hear what you truly meant by it.  |
Sorry, you really misunderstood me. When did I say sponges have morality? If morality is in our genes, how can this be so if we evolved from sponges? Did a designer intervene in evolution between our divergence from sponges and make this so? Or was it naturalistic?
If it was by design, why would the designer only intervene at this relatively late stage in earth's natural history, if the designer could make fully moral beings from the beginning?
