No, Naturalism is subjected to social group consenus which is ever changing. There is no foundation. Social groups are ever changing.

I do not believe so. Having the base of ethical values is dependent on the conscience of a social group is concerned and opens the door to many people’s issues of status and human value.

No. Naturalists believe that social groups are the sole source of ethical systems. They believe that it depends on the consensus of a group. This can lead to chaos, confusion, and even division since there is no universal standard for what is right and wrong. As a Christian (monotheistic), there is one source that provides the compass to know how to act (to what is right and wrong/ good and evil) – God the Creator who creates order and clarity about such things.
-
Absolutely not. God’s holy standard is the only real standard.

I do not. Although, it is honorable to take care of the creation God has given us; I do not believe that we are capable of improving our behavior. We are sinful by nature, and without Christ as our Savior, and the Holy Spirit living in us, we are incapable of improving our behavior. It is only through Christ that we can do this.
