Dinosaurs co-existed with man.

What you're referring to is cultural universals, not moral universals. Moral universals don't actually exist.

Again: you are absolutely wrong about this. There being a reason isn't the same thing as a thing being immoral. Generally they're seen as moral for that reason.

"Moral universals" would imply that every single person, ever, has held those morals. That's something thath as never been true, and is not true for any value you can come up with.

Even if there were moral universals (there aren't), it wouldn't be a cogent argument for the existence of God.

I don't understand this post. Cultural and moral universals?? What is that?

And as for the bold, that is not true. Obviously there are people with bad and twisted morals, in other words people who do evil and wrong. But that doesn't disprove universal morals or an absolute right and wrong.

The argument that there is an absolute morality is an argument for moral absolutism. You saidb efore that you weren't arguing for that.

A cultural universal is a value or concept that is held by all cultures throughout history. All cultures have the concept of time, of death, of differences between gender, of property, of language, of language used falsely, and some other things. Cultural universals are not a universally accepted by anthropologists, but it's the concept you're referring to.

A moral universal would be a moral that is held universally, which is to say held by every person ever.

A morality common to all cultures would be a cultural universal, not a moral universal. There is no morality that's common to all cultures. That kind of cultural universal doesn't exist.

You are arguing about absolute morals, which is that some thigns are definitely moral while other things are not. That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand in that it's not an argument for man walking with dinosaurs and it's not an argument for the existence of God.
