No, we aren’t. Get off your high horse, guy. You sound extremely pretentious and borderline retarded.

There are very well studied links between morality and genetics. So yes, we kind of are. Did you have any science to back up your position or were you just kind of bullshitting?

Provide them. Good luck showing us that “we are all born with an inherent knowledge of right and wrong bestowed to us by our creator”.

Just do a quick search on genetics and morality. There is a lot of easy to find information. And I mean, evolutionarily, it only makes sense that it would be so. It’s most effective for the survival of any organism to be hardwired to, in general, not want to skull fuck the rest of your tribe to death. Morality is shaped and changed after birth, but you are in fact hard coded with a lot of basic “ethics”.
And you, along with everyone and everything else in the universe, were created. Therefore, by definition, you must have a creator, be that God or nature or entropy or whatever. And said creator also by definition bestowed upon you everything you have, regardless of whether said creator is omnipotent, indifferent, or paradoxically not even existent.

Creator implies a sentient entity, hence there is none. If your genetic claims of morality were true, then everyone would behave one way or another based solely on genetics. However, this is not the case. Individuals may have a certain propensity towards certain ethical traits, due to genetics, but these are strongly affected by your environment.

First; who are you referring to as we? Have you been elected to some posting committee or are you so arrogant that you feel the need to speak for others?
Second; Again with the attacks. Let me help one more time. The use of the word retarded only shows your lack of empathy toward others and loses the attack value you are trying so hard to achieve.

Well written my friend but to be perfectly clear, I was referring to God as known by the Christians.
pushharder,
Sorry for inadvertently taking us there!

“We” are not all born with the inherent knowledge of right and wrong.

As a father of three, I’m not so sure. I think maybe bad morality is taught more so than good morality.
Sorry if I’m totally missing the context. I haven’t kept up with this thread.
