"The less one knows about biology and evolution, the more plausible natural law theory is."

I was going to say any discussion of "natural law" that fails to consider evolution is avoiding recognizing the truly natural (genetic) vs. cultural elements of morality, law, and norms in general.

Trying to remove "Nature's God" from "Nature" must in turn force a look at what remains of natural law, right? Some people seem to want to emphasize natural law as derived from "reason" alone, but an awful lot of reason is cultural norming.

I'm afraid that if the EU continues on its current trajectory, the old blind psychic lady Baba Vanga will be right. All of Europe will be Muslim by 2076 or so. Somebody needs to change direction quickly.
