If all of life can be explained by evolutionary theory apart from God, and if there is no God who created us (or at least if we cannot know anything about Him with certainty), then there is no supreme Judge to hold us morally accountable. Therefore there are no moral absolutes in human life, and people's moral ideas are only subjective preferences, good for them perhaps but not to be imposed on others. In fact, in such a case the only thing forbidden is to say that one knows that certain things are right and certain things are wrong (Wayne Grudem and Jeff Purswell).

INSTRUCTIONS

The light and moist cupcakes have a delicate
cinnamon-scented chocolate glaze that's spread over
them while they are still warm.
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and
preheat to 375 degrees F. Line twelve 2 1/2-inch
muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Place cocoa in a small bowl and stir in 1/2 cup
very hot tap water to dissolve.
3. In a large bowl combine the melted butter and
sugar; beat with an electric mixer until blended. Add
the egg and beat until light, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the
cocoa mixture and beat until smooth. In a small bowl
stir together the sour cream and baking soda. Stir
this mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Add the
flour and vanilla; beat quickly, just until evenly
blended. With a spoon stir in the coconut.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, dividing it
evenly among them; they will be about three-quarters
full. Bake about 20 minutes, until the tops spring
back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean. Remove the tea cakes from
the pan and cool slightly on a rack while you prepare
the glaze.
4. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the chocolate glaze on
each of the warm tea cakes and let cool thoroughly.
Chocolate Glaze:
Makes 1/2 cup
Drizzle this simple and tasty glaze over the afternoon
tea cakes or over any cake that's been frosted with
seven-minute caramel frosting.
1. In a small saucepan combine the butter with 2
tablespoons water. Place over low heat, add the
chocolate, and stir until the chocolate melts and the
mixture thickens slightly; remove from the heat.
2. In a small bowl combine the confectioner's sugar
and cinnamon; stir in the chocolate mixture and the
vanilla to make a smooth glaze.
