re: #169 McSpiff
Natural selection selected those who were capable of forming social bonds, weeding out the mindless killers the best it can.
What about the social bonds used to kill other groups? You have to be very careful with the minefield (no pun intended) that line of reasoning goes down.
I agree that there is a selective pressure on our species to maintain group bonds. However, that does not remove the possibility that God intended it that way.
