Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

This addresses the brute fact of the NMN basis for morality and ethics, and not whether specific morals and ethics of different societies and cultures are righht or wrong.Last edited by seer; 03-07-2017, 09:13 AM.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by seer View PostFirst, I'm glad you finally agree that science tells us nothing about what is moral or not - you were confusing me. Second, Moral Realism is saying more than that - that moral truths exist independently of humankind or cultures. And no one here, certainly not you, have been able to demonstrate how that is possible. It is a mere assertion without evidence.
I clearly demonstrated from the reference that Moral Realism is not saying what you said it says. My argument has never changed and the references are clear and specific. NMN argues that morality and ethics have a natural basis, and not whether science determines whether the morals and ethics of any one culture, society, religion or belief system is the true correct system of morals and ethics.Last edited by shunyadragon; 03-07-2017, 09:21 AM.

Originally posted by seer View PostRight that is an assertion without evidence. Did you follow the questions I asked Matt - who in the end rejected NMN?
No seer, we definitely do not agree, unless, of course, you now agree that morals and ethics can possibly have natural non-theist origins, as described in NMN and Utilitarian Teleology.

Moral Realism (or Moral Objectivism) is the meta-ethical view (see the section on Ethics) that there exist such things as moral facts and moral values, and that these are objective and independent of our perception of them or our beliefs, feelings or other attitudes towards them. http://www.philosophybasics.com/bran...l_realism.htmlAtheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

No Shuny, moral realism says that moral truth exist independently of cultures, that they are objective.
So again Shuny, demonstrate how these moral truths exist independently of our perception, beliefs, feelings, attitudes. Is you can not show how they exist independently you are just making an assertion with no evidence.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostThis basically selective and false. The bottom line is that in the Baha'i writings it is clear that the interpretation of scripture in terms of the nature of our physical existence, and that includes the Baha'i writings MUST be understood and interpreted in the light of the evolving nature of our scientific knowledge. That has been clarified in numerous treads for many years.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostOh you've responded, but not with anything meaningful. And no, it isn't a bad and selective misrepresentation of the Baha'i Faith, but then, you've demonstrated thoroughly on these forums that you don't know much about what the Baha'i Faith actually teaches.

Where does "science" say that murder is wrong, or stealing is wrong or immoral? You keep bringing in science, but where does science make these moral claims? I will be waiting for your answer.
The science of anthropology, sociology, and evolution shows that wrongful death codes of morals are necessary for the cooperation and adherence to a system of morals and ethics to maintain social order. In simpler forms these morals and ethics exist in higher social animals like primates.
