Is There Morality Without God?

Michael Horner and Massimo Pigliucci debate whether morality must come from a higher power: part 1, part 2.

The audio has problems, so you’ll have to crank it up at times. The debate begins about 6 minutes in.

Massimo Pigliucci argues that morality is very real, but exists only in the context of humanity as a combined genetic and social concept.
