And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Genesis 6:12
"What basis do we have for saying that anything is wrong at all if our
behaviors are no more than the consequence of past natural selection?
And if we desire to be morally better than our ancestors were, are we
even free to do so?
Or are we programmed to behave in a certain way that
we now, for some reason, have come to deplore? "
