Evolution and ethics, science and religion fail…
Evolution And Ethics
The question of the evolution of ethics (as Huxley sensed late in life) is the Achilles heel of Darwinism.
But, ironically, it is also a problem for proponents of ID, who are saddled with the Old Testaments of Moses (etc) which leave us absolutely puzzled as to the how ethics could have appeared at all. We don’t even understrand our basic ethical behavior, and can’t resolve its contradictions, although Kant made a good start.
