Richard Dawkins acknowledges that within biology, there is a signature of an intelligent design. He has no clue who is behind the design, but says it seems that a more intelligent being that came into existence through evolutionary processes. How that evolutionary process came into being is something he didn't bother explaining. That's circular reasoning, since it begs the question of how that being's evolution started. At any rate, something bigger and smarter than us made life start on Earth, but he doesn't want to call it God.
This bigger smarter being who made us has obviously put his here for a point. Time is limited, and next to infinity, it is non-existent. We, however, do exist. Therefore, there is some purpose behind us being here. We've been given this intellect and ability to ponder our existence and to ponder morality. We're obviously here to serve this bigger smarter being, and because we have moral questions that no other animal has to deal with, that purpose is to be tested on morality. That more intelligence existence has given us a code of morals, because when we are left to our own devices, morality degrades due to the competing hedonistic drive.

Oh man I don't even know where to begin. First, intelligent design may well be true, but there is nothing to indicate that it is "good", as long as you're bringing morals into it. In fact, if you ask me there is only evidence that it is very bad. Second, our intellect is only an amplified version of the same powers of consciousness that are present in all other life forms. We can observe these other life forms and conclude that their lives are about fucking fighting and feeding. We can then look at ourselves and see that all of our endeavors amount to not much more than fucking fighting and feeding, albeit with all of the embellishments of our overwrought consciousness. As an example, this very argument we're having. What you call morality is really only a dressed up code of savagery, assigning virtue to the same old tactics of preserving power and posterity, which has always been an amoral undertaking. So yeah, I don't agree.
