I read it just fine, and you have nothing which qualifies as evidence of God's existence - which is hardly surprising, as no one else has ever found any either.
Well seeing as you got it wrong about what I was even claiming, I have little confidence on your judgement on the issue.
Evolutionary psychology doesn't interest me. Which makes your demands to me for evidence accrued by a field of science which I'm neither qualified in, nor an enthusiastic, well read amateur in, rather pointless. You may as well ask me for evidence for Gravitational Theory, and when I say I don't know, demand "why do you live as if it exists then, why aren't you floating round in mid air instead of living as if gravity exists, if you don't understand the evidence for it?
What are you talking about. The observation that you aren't floating around in mid-air and nor is anyone else is enough to tell you that it exists without understanding gravitational theory. You have sufficient evidence to make your decisions. Your 'faith' in gravity is supported by your 'evidence'. What is the parallel observation that tells you that a particular action is either wrong or right or that these classifications even exist outside of your own mind?
So, unless I master every field of science, I am not allowed to ask anyone for evidence of anything?
Don't be dense. Pick an action that you think is 'bad'. Ask youself 'how do I know?' Then you'll have your evidence. It's not complicated at all.
If somebody makes an assertion, I want to know what they are basing it on. There is nothing hypocritical about that, unless I was claiming to be equally sure of some other theory without evidence, which I am not claiming.
You don't make judgements about right and wrong? Are these not assertions? So being asked for your evidence is really no different to anyone making an assertion about God and being asked for the evidence.
I'm not sure what such a lifestyle would entail, but if you mean an amoral lifestyle, then no I don't live like that.
How do you know you don't live like that? How do you know what 'moral' is that you can judge your lifestyle not to be 'amoral'? If good and bad don't really exist then your lifestyle is, by definition, amoral. If you don't think it is, how do you know?
I make judgements about what I believe to be right and wrong all the time, according to my own conscience.
You conscience is unique to you. Yes, other people also have a conscience but their may not tell them the same things about what is right and what is wrong than yours do.
If I said that 'a voice inside my head' told me that God existed - would you think this was adequate evidence that he did? So should your conscience be enough evidence that right and wrong really exist?
Now, whether that conscience is formed by a deity, an inherited gene sequence, a cultural construct passed on through upbringing, or something else, or a mixture - I don't know
Knowing its source wouldn't tell you if it was actually 'true'. I.e. that because your conscience tells you that it is wrong to kill someone (I assume it does), that this action actually is wrong, say, for other people as well. If their conscience didn't tell them that it was wrong to kill someone, would that mean it was actually ok? Why should your conscience dictate right and wrong for someone else? It wouldn't tell us whether we 'should' listen to our conscience or not. It seems that we have a choice - we seem to be able to live for sometime with a sense of guilt and regularly asked ourselves whether our guilt is really warranted or not. I.e. we are still looking for reasons to evaluate our consciences. What is the evidence behind those reasons?
I know it exists as a 'normal' feature of the human race, ie, normal meaning non-sociopathic. I also know that versions of it exist in other social animals.
That's about the limit of my knowledge on evolutionary psychology. Its about the limit of my interest too.
If you had really read the previous thread, you would know that this was a key part of my reasons for believing in God. As far as I can see, the problem we face as humans regarding knowing right and wrong is something that needs to be 'explained'. The key issue isn't knowing where our conscience comes from - it's knowing if it can really be trusted.
