Anything operating outside of the Word of God will ethically fall short.

Naturalists don’t have a moral compass and don’t believe in sin, need for forgiveness, redemption through Christ. However, without knowledge of Christ they just conform to the culture of right and wrong.

No, man is sinful, and apart from God’s direction and commandments, we will just create a huge mess with our own truth ruling the day.

The Naturalist has to define ethics only in terms of primal urges developed through survival needs, and tribal norms that are really just the corporate practice of primal survival instincts. Ultimately what is “right” is what helps my tribe survive.

No, they clearly state there is no ethical absolute moral consensus of a group. They do not believe in binding moral values and social groups are the ethical system.
