Morals arrive from reason and sensation rather than divinity. Sure, religion might have dictated morels but religion was a product of reason and sensation at the time. In the past, forces of nature which people could not understand were worshiped as gods. Pagan gods were merely a way for the people at the time to organize and categorize nature. The notion of a single god was probably a product of hallucinogens and initial good will. It's known that Mount Sinai had psychedelic shrooms growing on it. If you take a look at history, religion has always been a constant factor in conflicts throughout the world. Abrahamic religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc etc. As religion is receding, violence is on at an all time low. Our morality comes from, the ego and how the ego views how society views it. Religion is merely a part of society, so yes it has created morals. Many of these morals are outdated/wrong. The rest have always existed in society. The non religious don't believe in morals given by religion, they believe in morals which they can understand on a rational and sensational level. If they still believed in morals given by religion, they would be religious.
Tl;Dr: Religion didn't create rational morals, rational morals have always existed. The only morals they have passed down are the irrational ones.
I have never read the bible or any religious scriptures so i don't know what morals they actually do pass along but i feel its more of someone created a deity in order to enforce there own beliefs, i cant guaranty that they only followed the deity because they also believed the same or because they were told to, i know nowadays a lot of people blindly follow whatever there told so it could very well have been the same then and if that's the case i feel that if the person who created the deity felt differently then the morals people hold now would also be different.
note that i don't have a ton of knowledge of religion nor of the people who practiced it in the past.
The chicken, clearly you don't understand how evolution works. The chicken was a product of millions and millions of cells competing for life. For generation after generation, the predesscesors of the chicken lays eggs. Every generation, it just so happens, of the millions of cells that work to create an egg, an error occurs. This process happens over and over until we have what we call the first chicken.
You can't compare fucking chickens to human beings. They fertilize themselves. We fertilize each other.
We didn't just materialize, it's kind of the same process.
A common species of us, monkeys, apes etc etc, has sex. This species does it for generations after generations with cells competing for life(fertilization the egg). These cells are all unique and when it fertilizes the egg, a mutation happens. And these mutations happen for hundreds of generations before different genuses are fucking created. So no we didn't come from fucking apes, we're just fucking distantly related to them. Holy shit, study fucking biology in school.
Hey, @Lehsyrus
People that create religions are either psychotic or greedy. The creators are going to have different morals because of scientific advances we've made through the years. Or because they are crazy.

If you mean the materialization of a creature from nothing, no. (The laws of thermodynamics)
If you mean the altercation of cells, yes.
Can altercation of cells create creatures?altercation of cells, yes.
Evolution isn't a fucking hypotheses. It's a scientific theory.
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.

His grand parents created his mom. And their parents created them and so on. Evolution isn't just a single species to the next one, its a continuous stream of changes.

Holy shit, you're just as ignorant as he is. You need the right circumstances for life forms.
