Morality cannot logically exist without God

1.) Evolution Evolution actually has an explanation of how morality developed, and its basis in empathy. We as humans evolved from primates. Now, what one must realize, is that these primates were under a lot of pressure to survive. Thus, how they survived was by "teaming up" per se, and caring for each other in their own bands. Now, as humans evolved from these primates, we inherited those qualities. Except, since our brains are more complex than that of primates, we have more complex notions of morality. That empathy evolved to become altruism, selflessness, and love, among many things. And all of this came from the notion of evolution and natural selection: those who were willing to band together survived, and those who didn't did not survive. https://www.psychologytoday.com... 2.) Compassion I think everyone can agree that compassion is a huge part of morality. I will show an example of a historical figure (and a religious one) who was compassionate, yet did not accept any God (did not look to God for morality). The figure I am referring to is the historic Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. He is described as the most compassionate of human beings. To quote from him: " Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue." (http://www.brainyquote.com...). He speaks of virtue being wisdom. What is the point of this, you may ask. The point is that the Buddha was agnostic. He didn't look to God for virtue and morality, but looked towards empathy and compassion. It is said (I am sorry I can't cite a website, but I am sure if you search, you can find what I mean) that when the Buddha was asked the question of god, he remained silent, for he made to claim. This can be seen as agnosticism. The Buddha (and many Buddhists in the world today) don't get morality from God. In fact, Buddhism says that part of reaching enlightenment is being altruistic and compassionate, so much so that once someone reaches enlightenment, they won't have to think of doing good, for it will be in their nature. And to explain how they get their morality, their is the concept of Karma, which I won't delve into, because there is a 4000 character limit. 3.) Slavery and Adultery You claim killing homosexuals and adulterers was moral in the context of that time, yet the Bible is supposedly the universal and permanent word of God. Thus that passage would still be applicable today, by the discourse of reason. It has to be taken as law, since it is the word of God. And you claim Jesus "fulfilled the law", yet you draw no rationale of your claim of causality. Since you drew no rationale, the claim of Jesus dying and the law of killing adulterers has no correlation, and thus can be taken as false causality. According to the bible, Slavery still is permitted, for it even talks of how to buy and sell a slave. Now, if you claim that all ill morals before the death of Jesus "don't count", than that is a logical fallacy, since the WHOLE Bible is to be taken as the word of god, and thus every moral standard that came from the Bible has to be accepted, since it is the word of God.
