It is one of our most recommended resources.
There are many different ways to logically show that God must exist. One approach is called the ‘moral argument’. It shows that objective morals (i.e. moral standards that are not derived from human beings, but stand _above_ them) clearly exist, and that God is the only reasonable explanation for them.
Join apologist and speaker, Keaton Halley, to find out why!
⏳ TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Teaser
00:37 Introduction: Do we need God in order to explain morality? Or can evolution explain it?
01:49 What is morality? Defining terms
02:12 → Objective morality
03:34 → Subjective (or ‘relative’) morality
04:32 Is there evidence that objective morality even exists?
05:46 Do differences in conscience prove that morality is relative?
06:16 → The fact that people disagree doesn’t mean there is no truth!
07:04 → The Nazis were _objectively_ wrong!
08:06 Can evolution explain objective morality?
08:32 Aside: More evidence that objective morality exists
09:34 Continuing: Can evolution explain objective morality?
10:36 → No, evolutionary explanations only produce _subjective_ morality!
12:25 Is morality just a social contract?
14:01 Is God really the best explanation for objective morality?
15:50 Atheist’s challenge: Where did God get _His_ moral standard from?
16:13 → This is just a rehash of Euthyphro’s Dilemma (from Plato)
17:11 → It’s a false dilemma
18:29 → Answer: Moral goodness is rooted in the very character/nature of God
19:07 What about the presence of evil?
19:51 → Moral evil depends on objective moral _goodness_ for it's existence!
21:57 → Even ‘natural evil’ points to the existence of a perfect standard of goodness!
24:16 Can atheists be good without God?
25:58 Conclusion: Why objective morality is best explained by God
27:12 The human problem with morality—and the solution
28:08 Example: Using the moral argument in real life
