Interesting video. Though to correct the TED speaker's erroneous implications, religion is NOT morality, and morality is NOT ethics.

Truth be told :
Religion is a delusion, and morality is an illusion. There is actually only legality, ethics and cosmoethics, and all 3 are distinct.
What's legal may not be ethical or cosmoethical, and what's illegal may not be unethical or anti-cosmoethical.
What's ethical may not be legal or cosmoethical, and what's unethical may not be illegal or anti-cosmoethical.
What's cosmoethical may not be legal or ethical, and what's anti-cosmoethical may not be illegal or unethical.

Without further ado, here's the TED Talks video.

 
Always felt god made his weaker creations with more TLC as they either have a very high pain threshold or no pain threshold at all...women the weaker sex can have much higher pain tolerance than men when giving birth...insects and such seem to be able to break their own limbs easily and some even grow back a pair in due course...there are many dogs and cats who get by with one limb missing...so yes survival of the fittest for animals but they are biologically made up to do so
