Episode notes
Science Limits on Morality
- Morality and purpose cannot be fully derived from science as it deals with the natural world and is morally neutral.
- Science does not address ethical questions or the purpose behind evolutionary processes.
Animal Behavior Is Not Morality
- Cooperative behaviors seen in animals are biological traits, not moral judgments.
- These behaviors result from natural selection and differ fundamentally from human moral values.
God as Basis for Morality and Purpose
- Theistic morality centers on God as the unity and foundation for moral claims.
- Christian purpose entails voluntary self-sacrifice to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth.
