Are we at a standstill on this issue?

Well, Steve, it's seems like we're kind of spinning our wheels here.

If I point to something I believe demonstrates that morality is basically common to mankind, no matter what it is, you'll say it was "evolved." Yet you point out that male lions, when they take over a pride, kill the offspring of the previous male in charge, and that this too, somehow, proves morality (albeit lion "morality") evolved. "Evolutiondidit," you might say? :-)

Could you give me a good example of a type of morality would look like that wasn't "evolved" morality, but indicated that there was such a thing as "objective morality?"
