You're losing me John. Perhaps if you really have something you would like to say, you could say it in English, and not just use an unrealistic example to prove everything and nothing.

Human's evolution over millions of years has been both a physical process and a society based process. We have learnt how to live in a society through morals and ethics (usually enforced through authority). People still break these morals and ethics, and are generally looked down upon by the rest of society. The reason that Christian ethics are very similar to the ones that human beings, as time has progressed have decided are both right and helpful for society based living, are because human beings created Christianity (IMHO)!

Using Lions and Hyenas as examples seems unreasonable. They have a totally different social structure to us, which involves, as you mentioned, survival of the fittest. We, as human beings, have generally (and there are examples of where it has not been the case) believed everyone should have an equal opportunity at life. That is a rational decision.

In my opinion, Christian's do not give enough credit to the human being, and their ability to exist and evolve, without the existence of a higher being.
