Among the proponents of a naturalistic origin of morality it is commonly argued that the perception of right and wrong is solely derived from evolution, with little to no influence from logic or reason.

Over the years I’ve had many conversations with believers in god, where the topic of purpose or the meaning of life has often been raised.

Newton, Einstein, The Multiverse, and Walking Fish
Over the past few weeks I’ve had a pair of creationists trolling my videos, spamming me with many comments and private messages filled with creationist and anti-evolutionist propaganda, in addition to quote-mining the irrelevant opinions of scientists and atheists alike, which they believe somehow demonstrates naturalism can only bring despair to “misguided” atheists.

I Am Not An Atheist
Atheism lost two of its biggest names last week, with the death of Christopher Hitchens on Thursday, December 15th, and Kim Jong-Il on Saturday, December 17th.
