Re: [asa] Random and design

Your position priviledges the evolutionary view of morality and ethics. For example, where does the term 'reciprocal altruism' come from? Is such a view consistent with responsible Christian theology or is it a forced negotiation with naturalistic thought? The irony, of course, is that 'expect the worst' is exemplary of Pim's logic and not Janice's, the latter who seems to tend towards 'hope for the best'.
   
  If you were to un-hitch your views of Christianity from absolute allegiance to evolutionary logic, Pim, a new view of love and trust and divine justice may become possible. Why trust Trivers? Just a thought.

with deserving our love, it has all to do with a position of trust
towards one's neighbors, irregardless of whether or not the neighbor
deserves it.

Love they neighbor seems at odds with hope for the best, expect the
worst.
