If the world came about by natural selection, then natural selection should continue to rule. If the world is survival of the fittest, one’s whole life should be devoted to building up their own castle, not their neighbor’s. Also to an evolutionist, moral obligations are useless and can be completely ignored, perhaps they don’t even exist. If everything is material, then why would anyone listen to a feeling that tells them to give up their belongings? It does not make any sense to donate to charities. Many Neo-Darwinists also do not believe in right versus wrong. This means that one should keep all of their earnings because it is not any better for them to give them up. Whether one thinks they are morally obligated or not to give to charities all depends on their worldview. A worldview that knows there is good and evil will most likely be morally obligated to save the drowning child, but a worldview that believes in no such thing will not concern themselves. To be truthful, everyone has a moral obligation to donate because there is right and wrong. Everyone feels the effect of wanting to do good whether they believe it or choose to ignore it, and therefore everyone is obligated to save the drowning
