Mind's Eye Re: Instinct for survival

I have to disagree with some of this Gabs.  I think it is dangerous to make any claims as to God/religion and morality.  It is clear to me that ones morality starts to develop years before one is cabaple of understanding any concept of God.  Morality is a wholley human issue and God has no place there.

This does not preclude the existence of a creator force/ uncaused
cause. The inability to prove God's existence proves nothing; science
is constantly correcting itself and aghast at unintended consequences
of human behavior and invention. We may not need Heaven/Hell, but I
feel we do need God as a moral barometer however we choose to portray
God(s) rather than humanizing this force to lay human foibles and
troubles apart from ourselves and our own flawed natures. No man/men
could have invented our universe or planet or the countless wonders of
nature including human nature. Even when nature is violent and
destructive it is no proof of a malevolent god in the same way
humanity cannot be considered stupid and evil when faced with its
historical mischief but it's too late to ask the dead- even the 30,000
dead Syrians might have questions for the rest of us.
