Professor Zuckerman talks with us about morality and how it cannot be based in theism, which is covered in his books two of which are: "Living the Secular Life" and "What it Means to be Moral"
Some highlights:
* If there is a god it makes the case there is no morality there is only obedience
* Because the word moral is an adjective, if it's gods will or command does god command these things because they are moral or are they moral because god commands them
* if moral because it comes from god - that is arbitrary
* if god commands it because it is moral, then negates the need for god
* in secular system we can build some type of structure of what is moral
* where does morality come from - natural sources
where did our desire to help others come from - here are a few sources -
1. evolutionary path as social primates
2. cared for as infants
* and more
