The Ten Commandments don't represent anything particularly innovative in Mediterranean antiquity, nor do they bear the mark of divine revelation. This is because, ultimately, all such codes of conduct represent "universals" among mankind that, over the course of time, naturally came about for the sake of social order and harmony within developing civilizations
@derreckbennet
Yes, you are quite right that morality (the idea that murder and theft are wrong) is universal to mankind. This is quite true. Mankind has morality written on his heart.
But, this is not the result of natural processes, as you assert it is.
You are right that it was not the Ten Commandments that brought morality to mankind.
The truth is that it was God that created man with a moral compass, and it is God that gives every man a conscience to inform his thoughts and behavior.
The universality of moral codes you observe is a product of God's handiwork, not of unguided natural processes and random chance.
