Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gilbert, Sorry to keep this thread going but just so that we are clear, who were the only TWO persons to have been born moral according to your religion? I thought there was only ONE haploid, supernatural prophet. I would assume that majority of GoaNetters rely on mainstream media to *make their own determination based on their own wide human observations whether "majority of humans are born moral"* as they are probably not inclined to delve into the latest neuroscientific literature. These 'determinations' may change with time, education and research except for those who adhere to timeless truths written in ancient holy books. The cover story in latest issue of TIME magazine has an article which may interest you on 'What makes us Moral'. In it they quote Frans de Waal, author of 'Our Inner Ape' recommended to you by Santosh. http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1685055_1685076_1686619,00.html or http://tinyurl.com/24bqdd if the above doesn't work.
