Moral Argument
The Moral Argument is a philosophical reasoning that suggests the existence of a higher power, often identified as God, is necessary to explain the existence of objective moral values. Proponents argue that if objective morals exist, they must come from a source beyond human opinion, as moral standards can vary widely across cultures and individuals.
This argument typically follows a structure: if objective moral values exist, then God must exist; objective moral values do exist; therefore, God exists. Critics of the Moral Argument often contend that morality can be explained through social, evolutionary, or psychological factors without invoking a divine being.
