... I'll bite.

In the absence of God, explain to me why it would be wrong for me to kill someone who is weaker than me, seize their resources, and use those to reproduce more of my own genes?

In the world of evolution, all that matters is DO MY GENES SURVIVE.

Genghis Kahn is by far winning that contest, so in a purely biological sense his mass rapings were "right."

Please explain where you anchor a moral system that is consistent with biology yet forbids me from praying upon those weaker than myself.

One of Rand's errors was in neglecting the reality of behavioral genetics. This paradoxically forced her to work from the same angle as her communist opponents -- all nurture, no nature for explaining behavior.

Very sharp thoughts!
