Naturalism does not hold an adequate bases for ethical values. If these values are to come from nature, what is it that we would have to derive these from. We are inherently unethical and must derive our values from something. Otherwise this would lead to chaos.

Naturalist don’t believe in an ethical absolute. They live in conformity. So, no, I don’t think Naturalism holds an adequate basis for ethical values.

Absolutely not. Those who believe in naturalism simply don’t believe in ethics. They believe in basic laws to keep things civilized, but not ethics. If there is no God, if there is no Creator, if there is no afterlife than do as you please in this lifetime.

No. Ethics in naturalism only support the dominant. The weak, wounded, old, and very young get squeezed out.

I think naturalism does not hold an adequate basis for ethical values because they refuse to acknowledge the Bible as an authoritative source that provides guidance for moral and immoral behavior. Naturalists have a tendency to conform to their social environment.
