In this engaging discussion, Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine and author, delves into the origins of morality. He debates whether morals can be solely derived from science or if they are deeply rooted in Christian values. The conversation examines how culture, intuition, and historical context shape our moral frameworks. Shermer critiques the misuse of science in justifying unethical ideologies and emphasizes the significance of individual rights as grounded in a creator, challenging contemporary views on cultural relativism.
