There's no such thing as good or evil. At best, they are relative terms used by those who judge. Since old-fashioned white men judge, I guess those terms cannot exist without with out old-fashioned white men.


You appear to be suggesting that only "old-fashioned white men" judge. Do you believe others are unable, chose not to, some other reason? What evidence to you have to support your belief?
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Needs a definition of good and evil.

There are incidents that were regarded as acceptable in the past that would get you locked up for life as a minimum these days and vice versa.

And are similar "evil" acts carried out in the animal kingdom, actually evil or a means of survival?

LOL! Fan of "Philosophy Talk", Gary? (We are too...)

Don't hold back, people... After all, “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality” (Dante Alighieri)

Presumably no, because man himself has decided what is termed good or evil. A microbe living on Mars eating it's neighbour, would just do it without labeling it in any one way or the other.

Can good and evil exist without man?

Simple question. Is man a requirement for good and evil to exist?
