Richard, would you accept the same argument about God, that we know there is a God but don't really understand how we know, but gosh darn it we feel like there must be one so there must be one? Yes we evolved to help kin, and we expect many but hardly all other species to do this as well. But unless we know whether that behavior is moral we don't know if that is a process that makes our moral intuitions correlate with moral truth.
