Studying this for the semester, interesting..

I am finding it disturbing that this "Part 1" has excluded the professors statements. Kinda hard to judge this without hearing the unrepresented professors statements!

Where was this held? It looks like a college.

Actually just because someone disagrees with a moral absolute, that doesn't make that absolute principle wrong. If string theory exists, it doesn't matter whether we agree with it or not. It exists regardless. Absolute morals are absolute because they are independent from human opinion.

@hesster31

So who gets to decide what is moral? You?

@SteinUndStahl666 If we allow for the rates of killing in a particular society to exceed the birth rate, then that society will eventually die out. Some principles must be deemed immoral by the society for the preservation and well being of the said society.
