"There are recurring moral standards, that every group of people documented in
history have held. These standards, though differentiate in details, are all based on the same foundational morals " - J Warner Wallace
history have held. These standards, though differentiate in details, are all based on the same foundational morals " - J Warner Wallace
For example, one does not have to be told that killing for amusement is wrong, everyone comprehends this. The same goes for what is right: assisting others is not perceived as a negative issue.
J Warner Wallace: “Humans throughout history have recognized the universal transcendent objective nature of a variety of moral codes even though some behaviors can be defended under certain circumstances”
Geneticist Francis Collins states, “What we have here is very peculiar: the concept of right and wrong appears to be universal among all members of the human species . . . It thus seems to be a phenomenon approaching that of a law, like the law of gravitation or of special relativity”
How is it that this moral code came to be known to every human?
The practical answer is intelligent design by a divine creator.
