h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The fellow who wrote the Guide Entry on atheism and ethics produced one of the best examples of the Natuaralism Fallacy that I've ever seen. Just because something is natural does not make it right. What makes humans unique is that we can think about what we're doing and then DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD. Other animals can't do that.
The modern human brain reached it's present state about 150 thousand years ago and then we did nothing but kill each other and everything else for about 140 thousand years. We spent all that time following Realatheist's prescription. Pace, Monty Python; the kings were covered in shite like everone else. Then ethics were invented. Invented. I'm repeating the word to help the point stick. An invention is a special creation for a purpose. It's usefull.
It's said that Anarchy fails because we can't live without rulers. Not true. What we can't live without is rules. Anarchy hasn't failed; it works beautifully. Western civilization is proof of that. Democracy means we can get rid of leaders when they start acting like rulers.
Life is a game; ethics are the rules. As for god in this system. On n'a besoin de cette hypothese.
