Yes, that is objectively good for the predator.So what does one do when one animal has to survive by taking the lives of other animals? Is it objectively good if the predator kills hundreds of prey animals throughout its life so that it can survive,
That would be objectively bad for the predatoror is it objectively good if the predator starves
That would be objectively good for the potential victims.and its hundreds of potential victims survive instead?
Survival is objectively good and non-survival is objectively bad. But a fate worse than death outweighs that it's bad to kill.Also, is it objectively good to keep an animal alive for years when it is in misery when one could end its suffering and terminate it early?
Says you who call evolutionists evil.It is stupid to generalize Muslims are awful because of such news,
Of course it does. If an objective process has produced a survival instinct then it's obviously good if you survive because you accomplished what the objective progress has programmed you to try to accomplish. Stay alive.
I'm a fanatic
Yes we know.
You refuse credible academia. That's is what fanaticism is.
"I'm a fanatic for not accepting evolution?
Saying that something is good for one but bad for the other would make it subjective, not objective. That which is objective is true for all parties. If 2+2=4 in all scenarios, then that would be an objective truth. If 2+2=4 for some and 2+2=5 for others, then that would make 2+2=4 only subjectively true. So is a predator killing prey objectively good, objectively bad or amoral?Yes, that is objectively good for the predator.That would be objectively bad for the predatorThat would be objectively good for the potential victims.Survival is objectively good and non-survival is objectively bad.
So how do you determine this from evolutionary logic?But a fate worse than death outweighs that it's bad to kill.
Of course not. Don't confuse objective with universal.Saying that something is good for one but bad for the other would make it subjective, not objective.
Nonsense. That would be universally true not objectively true.That which is objective is true for all parties.
It would be objectively good for the predator and objectively bad for the prey. Stop confusing what is objectively good for each of them with something that would be universally true for both of them.So is a predator killing prey objectively good,
Then please explain the difference between universal and objective. It would also be helpful if you give an example of something that is universally true that is not objectively true and vice-versa (outside of morality, of course).Of course not. Don't confuse objective with universal.
Nonsense. That would be universally true not objectively true.
Take out "for the predator" and "for the prey" and try answering again. I'm asking if it is objectively good or objectively bad overall.It would be objectively good for the predator and objectively bad for the prey. Stop confusing what is objectively good for each of them with something that would be universally true for both of them.
How many theories have been tossed aside? Do you have an example of a theory that has been tossed aside for another?Evolution will be like many other theories and get tossed aside in exchange for a newer theory that actually makes sense.
Sure. What is universally true is what is true for all, something that is objectively true is true regardless of whether you think it's true or not. Objective: "Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real:" "Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices:" objective - definition of objective by The Free DictionaryThen please explain the difference between universal and objective.
What makes those two definitions different? They look the same to me. If something is true whether or not you accept it as true, then it is also true for all. Can you provide an example of an objective truth that is not also a universal truth?Sure. What is universally true is what is true for all, something that is objectively true is true regardless of whether you think it's true or not.
"Objectively good for them"?Even bad bacteria "want to" survive and multiply so if they do that's objectively good for them.
And yet you specify "for them"....?Sure. What is universally true is what is true for all, something that is objectively true is true regardless of whether you think it's true or not. Objective: "Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real:" "Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices:" objective - definition of objective by The Free Dictionary
Something universally true for humans would be true for every human at all times. Humans are "white". The statement is objectively true for this human, but it's not universally true for all humans. If every human had hallucinations and saw a pink elephant standing in front of them it would be a subjective universal experience but it wouldn't be objectively true that a pink elephant was standing in front of them. A camera would register nothing.What makes those two definitions different? They look the same to me. If something is true whether or not you accept it as true, then it is also true for all. Can you provide an example of an objective truth that is not also a universal truth?
