My opinion is that human morals and laws result from the fact that we have a God-given conscience that tells us there is such a thing as Right and Wrong.

I don't see any empirical evidence for this view. Outside of cartoons and other forms of popular culture, I do not see little imps sitting on your left and right shoulders whispering into your ears that eating locusts is Right, but mixing linen and wool is Wrong. When one looks at the history of humans, one notices a great many contradictory ethical systems. To posit that one out these many is the one true one and all others are deliberate perversions which were created by people who willfully go against their conscience is a bit much to take, but then people's propensity for credulity is enormous.

But perhaps we are getting off topic and wandering in the field of anthropology.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
