(Ignoring that the last mountain on which I had opportunity to walk barefoot was emphatically a sharp thing ...) This thread is (nominally!) about evolution, a scientific concept. I feel comfortable in expecting scientific or at least rational method to be used in discussing moral law, in the sense of a mathematical or physical law. The ancient sages were unconcerned with quantification and proof, but in the pursuit of this inquiry I am. From this starting point, awareness is necessary but not even remotely sufficient. If we disagree about this I fear that I cannot add value to this part of the discourse. As for the ancient sages ... does it not strike you as odd that there aren't modern sages, who have so much more of the human story behind them, who are embraced as authorities? cheers js
