Like Fabs, I got to the absolute morality point and had to say "no".
In fact, the correct answer must be "no", for any Christian, look at the OT. Things that are morally wrong now were morally acceptable then. If that is to be the case, absolute morals do not exist.
Consider yourself educated.

I received the following message:
[b]To reach this page you had to acknowledge that immaterial, universal, unchanging laws of logic, mathematics, science, and absolute morality exist. Universal, immaterial, unchanging laws are necessary for rational thinking to be possible. Universal, immaterial, unchanging laws cannot be accounted for if the universe was r ...[text shortened]... sts. Are you on a quest to find religious idiots on the internet and report their "findings"?
I hadn't realised that because the universe is not random and not wholly material, that it is fallacious to the conclusion that it was created by God.
After all, evolution claims that life came into existence randomly. Why should it not be concluded that it is fallacious to claim that order came from disorder?

Your assertion that what is morally wrong now, but was morally right then, is pure convoluted relativism.
The denial of the existence of universal absolute truth is irrational. If it were true you could know nothing for sure. Any argument for anything would collapse without truth to support it. It's a no brainer!
Are you learning anything yet? 😉

If not, then the proof that god exists is totally wrong. That is what we learn of this. What do you learn?
I once wrote "Yes, in my culture female circumcision is awfully morally wrong, I am dead sure. How can you think otherwise?" and you didn't answer that. How can you defend female circumcision ???
Originally posted by josephwJoseph, I despair of you sometimes. Have you not yet learnt what evolution is and is not, after all the debates on this site, all the arguments, and the odd glimmer of hope sometimes that shows you are starting to think about it, then you come out with some statement like this? I put my head in my hands and give a despairing little cry; please please think for yourself :- and I know it is a struggle but try to recapture the idea that evolution is not claiming anything about abiogenesis, and the outcome of evolution is not random. I really don't know where you get these ideas that you trot out; but it really shows that you still don't get it; and this is the basic stuff here.
...After all, evolution claims that life came into existence randomly.....

You have obviously received your education within the last 20 years or so. The idea that there are no absolutes is bogus, and I pity the mind that is unaware of it.

Your rules of thumb is the following:
(#1) I am always right, because I am better than every one else.
(#2) If it happens that I'm not right, see (#1).
