For all their “christianity”, republicans in the US are pretty hypocritical.

Jesus actually teached that everybody deserves to get fed and housed. That everybody deserves healthcare. That people should care for other people in their community. That is essentially the core principles of socialism.

    There definitely is no evidence to support an inherent “moral compass” in humans or any other animal because there is no evidence to support genetic memory which would be required to pass information without teaching it.

            Did you know that the mother communicates to her eggs before leaving the beach? They also have a very complex verbal and non verbal way of communicating which begins even before they hatch.

              Even assuming you’re correct, which I very highly doubt as you have provided no source for your claim that contradicts the overwhelming majority of information you can find online, are you going to tell me flies also communicate with their eggs? Does it continue all the way down to amoebas?

                Search “Turtles speak to eggs” if you want to see an overwhelming amount of information that supports the studies done on Turtle communication. Not only do the mothers speak to their babies in the eggs, the baby turtles speak to each other before they hatch.

                No, because we are talking about Turtles and what studies know about Turtles. I am unsure what we know about how flies communicate, or how amoebas communicate beyond chemical reactions, but that has nothing to do with the facts about Turtles.

                Nobody needs third parties to dictate what good is, it’s embedded in our genes.

                Feel free to source your bullshit before asking for a source from someone else.

                  We’re not talking about turtles but about instincts, that’s why I said “assuming you’re correct” because even if you are, you’re not disproving the existence of instincts, which is pretty much scientific common knowledge. The specific example is not that important for the argument, which you conveniently avoided.

                    I asked you to provide an example of inherent instincts, you said Turtles, I demonstrated why you were wrong.

                    The onus is on you to prove your original hypothesis:

                    Nobody needs third parties to dictate what good is, it’s embedded in our genes.

                    I am not avoiding your argument, I am explicitly telling you it is bullshit. This is bullshit and not backed by anything real.

                    Feel free to source something or jog on.
