Do you think naturalism holds an adequate basis for ethical values? Explain.
-
No, who gets to be the one that says what is right and wrong besides God?
-
Naturalists believe our morals and ethics come from social groups and our society. If we see laws as mere guidelines to protect others, then who has the right to set those guidelines if there are no absolutes? Naturalism may agree in being moral and ethical for the greater good, but it does not answer the SOURCE for defining right and wrong.
-
No, without a creator God their is no basis for right or wrong.
-
No, I do not think that naturalism holds an adequate basis for ethical values because for the Naturalist, everything ultimately leads to the death of the universe and extinction of every species and human. If that is what they believe, there would be no real standing for their moral and ethical values.

Naturalism does not hold an adequate basis for ethical values. The naturalist views that moral terms or concepts are ultimately definable in terms of facts about the natural world. It is not adequate to have a view of life without taking into religion.
