Some people may believe we are nothing more than this physical or biologocal body.Well I want them and others to read this completely and share their views.
Normal people(wether religious or not,believer in god or not) become happy after they do a good act, even if their action can't be justified by materialistic laws , for example sacrifising one's self for another person, or to give your kidney to someone else for free.
And they will get sad in their hearts when they do something evil , even if they make a good money(that their actions are justifyable by materialistic laws) ofcourse I am talking about 'normal' people whose heart hasn't changed dramatically.
So if we read between the lines it proves there is something more than this physical world it proves reward and consequence for our actions. >>
this is a feeling so deep in our heart(deeper than one can say because they were taught it in the school when they were child), it is deep there.
Just like we love and want the beauty , we love good acts( even if they dont make sense with materialistic laws).
you know, when something is in our heart there is a response outside, if there is the hunger inside ,there is food outside. if there is the need of love inside ,there is marriage and love outside.For every natural need or tendency or feeling that we have inside our hearts ,there is a response a satisfaction outside. the response to this feeling is that there is more than
this world, there is reward and consequenses.
Things make sense.
If we admire sombody when he get killed, trying to rescue somebody else which doesnt make sense by the physical laws,it means our hearts knows that there is more than this physical world.even if some people has become unbelievers and consciously deny it while their hearts unconsciously act in according to spritual laws.
and yes when god created us he put this in our heart.
Note that I dont say non-belivers dont do good acts,some of them do,beacause the truth is in their hearts but they consciously deny it.and sometimes they act in according to spritual laws without paying attention to it.
peace to you all
a muslim friend.

to nondescript:
dont forget that animals were also created by God.and also note that based on materialistic laws we should be only thinking of ourselves, and when we die its THE END. so why should we care about survival of others , why should this be in our hearts..it agian proves that a higher
power(GOD) who wanted the survival on earth to continue put this in our hearts

Well that depends on what you were thought, if a group of people were thought Christianity and were isolated from the rest of the world, their view would what they were thought, however you took that group and brought them to new Your City, they would think the end of times had arrived. Simply put education is just a collection of teaching from accredited good and bad teaching including spiritual laws. Doing good is come first it needs not to be taught, living inside the laws must be thought.

"So if we read between the lines it proves there is something more than this physical world it proves reward and consequence for our actions."
No, it doesn't. I agree that normal people - Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Wiccans, Humanists, and all the rest - enjoy doing things they feel are good, and feel guilty doing things they feel are bad. I further agree with you that normal people, in most cases, feel similarly about what is good and what is bad. But we cannot conclude from that agreement that there is something more than this physical world causing it.

The Reason we would Rescue someone is because we know it's right by our moral standards and expectations. It's not a deep down inprint in our hearts (which, by the way, are just muscles. It's all in the brain.).

You already asked this, I believe. And, as I said last time you asked, altruism is a survival characteristic. You see it in many animals. Remember, a survival characteristic doesn't have to be advantageous for any particular individual, as long as it helps the species survive.

I believe we are more than just a set of chemical reactions going on. I do believe firmly in evolution - just somehow something more is in us, and all animals. Whether that covers our sense of right and wrong, or is just the aura that is around us I can't tell.

no it is nothign that god or anyone "put" into our hearts, what you talk about is moral and ethics, and "normal" people have that no matter if they believe in a god or if they don't it has nothign to do with religion, it is just the way people are socialized and trained and brought up in their childhood, we learned what is good and right and what is bad and wrong.... that's how simple it is... no proof for religion again, sorry.
