I have read an other review by Korthof of Francis Collins book "The
Language of God" (
http://home.planet.nl/~gkorthof/korthof83.htm)
Korthof critique the argument of the moral law, claiming that some
animals (especialy chimps) have altruism and kindness in their
behaviour, that altruism and kindness can be explain by evolution, that
morality have evolved. He also state:"
The other unique human
properties awareness of right and wrong, language, self-awareness and
the ability to imagine the future (Collins page 23) are found also in
animals." Korthof cite and refer amply to the books of Frans de
Waal. Frans de Waal seems to found a lot of parallel between behavior
of human and chimps (an other example: the capacity of forgiveness and
peace making of the chimps).
What are your opinions on this? Have science disprove the argument of
moral law? Have morality evolved? Are human the not the only specie
capable of awareness of
right and wrong, self-awareness, forgiveness, peacemaking and the
ability to imagine the future? Do you have have ever heard about Frans
de Waal?
Thanks in advance for your insight.
Blessings,
Johan
