stuff like this can happen.

"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you."

Thanks for the advice!

I recommend replacing “is ontologically committed to” with “assumes.” I find that easy-to-understand language is better debate strategy.

anthropology shows that morality predates religion thats not to disprove the existence of god, just to remind you that all religious texts were written by men based on long dead religions that came before morality in the bible predates the abrahamic religions we know that by studying ancient texts.

Cool lets save it for the debate

@crossed

I have nothing against you either. We are just discussing a topic. But if you want to save this discussion for the debate, I will do that. But before our conversation ends, I would like to say just one thing:

When people say "Evolution is a theory, not a fact", it really pisses me off. A theory in science is not a random guess (that would be a hypothesis). A theory in science is higher than a fact, because a theory explains why facts are true or false. For example: the theory of gravity. It's a fact that objects with a density higher than air fall when we let go of them, and the theory of gravity explains why that happens. Similarly, it's a fact that animals have random mutations which give them a higher chance of survival, but evolution itself explains why that happens. If you say that evolution is "just a theory", are you saying that gravity is "just a theory" as well?

I am tired of this. I have nothing against you. Evolution is a theory not a fact.That is why it is called the Evolutionary theory. I have given you my reasons on why morale are biological. Can we just save this discussion for the debate you accepted.

"We are not animals."
Actually, we are. Humans are part of the Animal Kingdom.

"Survival of the fittest and natural selection are not in play."
Actually, they are. Evolution is a proven scientific fact.

"But the moral system God created is."
You have not proved that such a moral system exists, you have not proved that God exists, and you have not proved that God is responsible for that moral system. So please, continue.

@TheAtheist

we are not animals. Survival of the fittest and natural selections are not in play. But the Morale system god created is

-->
@TheAtheist

morality is a biological thing

-->
@crossed

So far, your argument has been that love and good behaviour result in a longer and happier life. However, this does not prove that morality is objective and it does not prove that morality has been created by God.
