ICANT responds to me:
quote:
So why does atheist existing have anything to do with morality existing?
Because atheists have morality without god. Thus, the claim that god is solely responsible for morality is proven false.
quote:
The question's I have is why does morality exist?
Because people, being cognitive and social beings, have systems for handling their social interactions.
quote:
Where did it come from?
People make it up. That's why there are so many different moral codes out there.
quote:
Why did it begin to exist?
Because people, being cognitive and social beings, developed a system to handle their social interactions.
quote:
There is no scientific reason for morality to exist.
Huh? Why not? Why wouldn't a cognitive, social group of creatures develop a system for handling their social interactions? It would certainly seem to provide a selective advantage.
After all, humans aren't the only ones with moral codes.
