" Good " and " bad " are purely _subjective_ concepts based on the _emotions_ of human beings. They did not exist before human beings evolved and they will not exist again after we have become extinct. 2. Humans will often disagree as to whether something is good or bad. Hence there is no universal definition of good or bad, even when the " universe " as such is restricted to something as small as the population of living human beings. If there is no universal _human_ definition of good and bad, how can there be any objective universal definition ? Paul -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
