Babies Like Good Guys

Hmm. Looks like morality, as suggested by the world's deep spritual traditions, may be inherent.

In the first evidence of its kind to date, Yale researchers find that infants prefer individuals who help others to those who either do nothing, or interfere with others’ goals, it is reported today in Nature.

“This supports the view that our ability to evaluate people is a biological adaptation—universal and unlearned,” said the authors of the study.

Let's not tell the deconstructionists and post-modernists, so that they can live in their arbitrary thought environments just a little bit longer. Whoops, the AP asked for a dissenting opinion, and this dude does not like the Yale study's conclusions at all. Of course, why should I believe some guy teaching at a school in Boca Raton over one of the nation's most prestigious universities? Unless, of course, he just happens to be one of the AP's quote machines. So helpful, those quote machines, always ready to support the prevailing narrative.
