human kindness is a derivative of Divine Mercy, as such it has everything to do with G-d, whether you chose it or not!

by following Ten Simple rules, you are doing G-d's Will and benefit not only yourself but humanity! lol

Human kindness is necessitated by evolution, because we are social creatures and we need to trust that other members of our social groups are going to treat us with respect.

doubt if evolution as described by science fall under such a
narrowly defined parameter as "members of our social group."

evolution theory as described by science is survival of the fittest, and really places credence on genetics and little else! lol

Yes. The idea is that altruism is literally a feature of human genetics. And science does indeed place credence in this idea. It’s the basis of the theory of morality, which is indeed a scientific question.
 Quoting: Light of my Little Left Eye


morality is a matter of identification. if you identify with an abrahamic faith's, The Ten Commandments hold a precedence.

other faith's have similar sets of moral behaviors.

those without a faith, have little to restrain themselves from the overindulgences of a material world. there is no reason not to suck all you get out of the carcass! of course many are restricted from doing so by the lack of their own means.

is altruism viable when resources are limited? and when resources are limited, who's morality do think would hold up, those with principles of faith that believe in something greater than themselves or those with that hold no faith in something greater?

i wouldn't presume to align myself with those i do not know personally. but, if push came to shove, i would rather take my chances that people of faith would be more likely to be altruistic in life and death matters! lol
