42. I do have an opinion on the origin of humans, but my opinion

does not come from my agnostic atheism. My origin opinion comes from my schooling and articles I have read on the subject.

I personally don't see any evidence that we all adhere to the same moral code. There seems to be a wide variety of moral opinions on abortion, honor killings, war, homosexuality, taxes, circumcision, slavery, and numerous other issues. Even amongst those of the same religion.
