DeletedDelusion ::: Favorites True, only, I would rather tend to say that our minds give rise to right and wrong. Is there something beyond the laws of nature, or is it only our minds projekting something? 07-08-27 15:33:04 _____________________________________________________
DeletedDelusion ::: Favorites I agree that without "spiritual existence", right and wrong cease to exist, from a neutral point of view. It seems to me that the universe has no mind, and no intetion, but that we see intention and meaning in it. 07-08-27 15:24:26 _____________________________________________________

DCUPtoejuice ::: Favorites 2. I make no predicitions on what will be extinct. I was trying to point out that people are born with different natures but that there is no way to say who is right or wrong without spiritual belief. I'm saying that without spiritual existence, right and wrong cease to exist. Of course that doesn't mean I can prove the existence of god. 07-08-27 12:58:48 _____________________________________________________
DCUPtoejuice ::: Favorites This is a great conversation, unfortunately complex though. I'll try to address your specific points. 1.evolutionary psychology does not attempt to, nor can it, identify right from wrong and that is what spirituality attempts to do. Hence my original statement that "spiritual sense" gives rise to right and wrong. 07-08-27 12:57:51 _____________________________________________________
DeletedDelusion ::: Favorites I think there is no person born with the desire to be in service. Evolitionary psychology tries to understand certain behaviour in conection with natural selection. They try to determin if a behaviour which is not explaiable otherwise makes sense in the eyes of natural selection. 07-08-26 14:27:06 _____________________________________________________
