Is Morality Real?

There are 4 reasons to believe that Morality is real:

1. All people have a sense of morality.
2. No real truth can be subjective.
3. Everyone responds to injustice.
4. Morality is not unknown.

1. All people have a sense of morality.

-All recorded cultures have standards even though each has their own variations.
-Without even knowing what good and evil is, the individual knows there is something they ought to do and ought not to do. 

As Frank Turek puts it:

“…Why do most human beings seem to have that same intuitive sense that they ought to do good and shun evil? (1)

The fact that everyone has some sense of morality (on the cultural and individual level), leads us to believe there are transcendent ethics which we all pull from.

2. No real truth can be subjective.

If morality were just a set of different beliefs held by each individual, there would inevitably be contradictions between them. The fact there people do get into disagreements about what is right, instead of naturally doing what is right all the time, is evidence of that. Because there are disagreements however, this show one of two things about morality (if indeed it is real):

1) It is either illogical or
 

2) There is an objective standard that is true

The problem with the first is obvious. There is nothing in reality that is shown to follow non-logical patters. No matter what idea is claimed, it has to fit into reality.

With the second however, there is room left for individual error. The faults of individuals have no impact on the objective standard; just as opinion of if a room is 65° or 75° has no impact on the thermometer reading 70°.

Though even when a person denies that logic is real, as Jason Lisle says:   Continue at Shrewd Dove Apologetics
