Is Morality Natural?
Of course, the Newsweek article concludes it is. But there's no evidence that it is, other than that many of the moral choices we make are fairly universal.
These studies suggest that nature handed us a moral grammar that fuels our intuitive judgments of right and wrong.
But this observation of universality is at home in a theist worldview. The observation doesn't explain morality's origin. You have to fall back on the resources of the worldviews to do that.
It's amazing how easily these trivial observations end up in major newsweeklies.
