The Question No Atheist Can Answer ep. 21

Science Faith and Reasoning

Can anything be objectively and absolutely morally wrong from a godless worldview? Without being made in the image of God, can one reason from what "is" (biology) to how we "ought" to act? In this episode, I breakdown the moral argument as presented by various theists and Christian apologists, and analyze if a godless worldview can objectively ground morality. The moral argument goes like this:

Premise #1: If God does not exist, then objective moral values and duties do not exist.

Premise #2: Objective moral values and duties do exist.

Conclusion: God exists.

I also go into some of the most common objections to the Moral Argument for God's existence, such as, if objective morality exists, then why do people disagree so often about what's right? I also discuss an insightful quote from C.S. Lewis, “My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”

We know that the moral law exists because we constantly are judging actions as right or wrong according to it. We may not have every nuance figured out yet, but in a general sense, we know that some things are absolutely wrong, and others are absolutely right.

We feature a clip from The Atheist Experience podcast to see if they can answer why it's OK for animals to kill each other, but not for humans to act the same way.
