universally recognize, for the most part, is the law of God written upon our hearts.
I would submit that:
Sans God, there really is no logical moral code, objective or otherwise.
If everything in existence, including plants, animals, and of course, human beings, are nothing but a random collection of molecules that by random chance and the laws of nature just happened to conglomerate into "you" or "me", then rearranging any such random collection of molecules could not really be "immoral" in any sort of real sense.
If a boulder rolled down a hill and squashed a home, killing the family inside was it "immoral"? It is just acting according to the laws of nature... and what would it really matter in the grand scheme of things anyway? Eventually, the sun is going to run out of fuel and burn out. When it does, any descendants of the various sets of random collections of molecules that were in that home when the boulder rolled down the hill and rearranged them into somewhat different random collections of molecules will all die anyway. ALL random collections of molecules are going to be rearranged millions or trillions of times before the sun burns out, though. All of those rearrangements will happen deterministically based upon the laws of nature, no?
