MPassey, thank you for your thoughtful and respectful comment. We may disagree about what is the more satisfying explanation for the human condition, but it seems we very much agree on one important element of the human condition: respect for one another. Whatever the source of the impetus for treating one's fellow seekers with a modicum of human decency, we can agree that the alternative is not only distasteful, but if unchecked at some point, dangerous.

As for the evolutionary answer, i wonder if you have read any my posts on that? I've written quite a few questioning the notion of exclusive evolutionism, not evolution which is clearly established, but the idea that evolution alone can explain life, its origin and its complete history. Would love your thoughts.
