Sure it's prehistory, but saying it's unknowable is like saying we can't know if man's control of fire or cooked food came first. It's common sense.


Show me how (where?) it has been determined that "basic morals" (not animal morals, those of CIVILIZED MAN) predate religious thought. Hell, show me where it has been determined that the civilization of man does so.

Well this argument is going to be hard to make if you don't believe that man created religion

But if man created religion in order to set societal structure and morality, then it is a rather obvious conclusion, no?
