The moral argument is a philosophical reasoning that suggests the existence of a moral law implies the existence of a moral lawgiver, often identified as God. It posits that if objective moral values exist, they must come from a source beyond human opinion, as subjective views can vary widely across cultures and individuals. Proponents of the moral argument argue that our shared sense of right and wrong points to a higher standard of morality. This argument is often used in discussions about ethics, religion, and the nature of human behavior, aiming to demonstrate that morality is not merely a social construct but rooted in something greater.
