So let's kick this up a notch, shall we?
Summing up the Darwinism Hypothesis:
1. Nothing produces everything. (Non-deism.)
2. Non-life produces life. (Self-organization of matter, etc)
3. Randomness produces fine-tuning. (simple luck of the draw chance produced our Universe)
4. Chaos produces information. (no particular order to the Universe)
5. Unconciousness produces conciousness. (the mind just happened as a "side-effect")
6. Non-reason produces reason. (reasoning from chaos)
Ok then. All that Man has evolved to, at this point, is the product of physical processes without the direction of an Intelligent Designer. Purely undirected natural process of evolution. Right? Just a bunch of semi-organized bits of protoplasm walking about our planet with nothing better to do than eat, sleep and cr*p and with no higher purpose or meaning in life. The list above should encompass this. Examine each one and consider it if you would.
It stands to reason then, if we're products of evolution as described by Darwin, and there is no ID involved, that Man is also responsible for his own moral values too. I mean, we don't see the intrusion of Intelligent Design anywhere else so it's reasonable to assume our morals are created by the same processes. After all, intellect, as defined by Darwinism and a byproduct thereof, is a result of randomness and natural selection. One would think that morality would find it's center in the human conciouisness as it certainly didn't start with any of the "lower animals".
