The essay on morality starts out so convolutedly defeating itself at the beginning with Chosen Ones killing Chosen Ones with the obligatory references & quote mining from arch atheist Dawkins and the antiquated oversimplification of scientfic community's most recent commentary on morality . Why not look to see what scientists are really saying than a few cobbled together paragraphs in this very inadequate attempt to describe today's forum , why not look to see what scientists themsleves are saying?

Richard Dawkin's has more recently changed his views somewhat after influenced by friend Sam Harris's book , it would be efficacious if these writers you copy & paste could really try to stay up to date .

Science of morality
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_morality

Richard Dawkins had openly stated that science has little to say directly about morality. He has since said, about science of morality as friend and colleague Harris presents it in The Moral Landscape, that it "changed all that for me". [86]

In an online interview, Dawkins reiterated that he believes that Harris makes relevant points, and that, once one defines the moral goal as maximizing the wellbeing of creatures, science has much to say about what is actually morally good. [87]
