Standards are a product of our consensus alone. They are neither a product of a divine apocalypse, nor have they inherently a specific substance that turns them into absolute epistemic objects😵

I am doing what I consider righteous according to my own evaluation of the mind, and I know the products of my evaluation are not some sort of “absolute truth” but simply mind-depended choices of mine. No divine intervention. I hold myself fully responsible for whatever I do.
An example: Sharia is a legitimate law in some countries. I would never abide to this law and I would break it in every occasion. If I was forced to live in a country ruled under the pseudo-law known as Sharia and were unable to escape from there, I would be a criminal big time giving no dime for that perverted sense of “good” and “bad”, soon arrested and executed. No big deal😵

For the time being, nobody can tell what really happened: the religious beliefs are not tenable, while the scientists simply come up with viable scientific theories of reality. However, the religious views are inferior to the scientific theories. The theory of evolution is more viable than the religious core beliefs because, for one, it does not requir ...[text shortened]... regards this matter is the following:

all things are possible. Take God out of the equation than you can worry about what is and
is not tenable, because then you have to worry about odds and possibilities. God removes
the needs for such things since He spoke the universe into being and maintains total
control over it all.
If you want to look at things only through the eyes of what is tenable, then I think what is
all around you is not here on its own.
Everything from nothing seems very untenable to me.

Based on the fact that the dichotomy between the persons which are to Christians either “brothers” or “children of Satan”, is clearly a product grounded on a religious blind belief😵
God doesn't pick and choose among us, like some here declare, what He has done is
condemn the whole. So we all start off as condemned yes, reason being we are all
sinners, and from there we either come to God or we do not when God calls us. You are
no different than I am. On my own, in my own righteousness, throughout my whole life I
could be the worst one here. It isn't my righteousness that matters but the blood of Jesus
Christ on my life, not my special place on the earth as one of God's hand picked good
ones. Who so ever will, matters, those He foreknew.

seems you really do have a high opinion of yourself. Taking responsibility for one's own
actions is good, I'll give you that. I'm not sure where you could come up with a word as
perverted sense of good and bad, if there isn't one that everyone are all held too regardless
of what nation we live in or culture.

How could you prove that evolution does not occur as a result of an intelligent mechanism put in place by supernatural intervention?
Are you saying the scientists in the lab are not using 'intelligent intervention' in their lab experiments?
I inhale air. Air is out there for specific reasons, it is not there because it occurred as a result of an intelligent mechanism put in place by supernatural intervention. How do I test this evaluation of mine? By means of using biological evidence, and also evidence grounded on the Rock Record. I do not evaluate as “evidence” the religious superstitions.

Nothing from everything that "is all around" exist "on its own" right and in separation from everything else.

A high opinion of one's self has one who believes blindly that acts according to a supernatural entity's infallible will and therefore his actions are fully justified and absolutely right😵

We are still not at the point of a global, full consensus as regards this matter, but at least we have the International Court and the International Law, which is not a product of a divine intervention but a product of our collective subjectivity😵

Nothing circular about that! Specific frame work reminds me of your test tubes, you put in what, while excluding what you don't.
You also only entertain what you want to acknowledge.
