Morality? Where does it come from?
Atheists:
Jean-Paul Sartre - "If God does not exist, everything is permissible".
Bertrand Russel - "Life is meaningless".
-
If individuals set the rules, then it's "every man for himself" as every man determines what is right or wrong - and you know there won't be a whole lot of consensus because one person's morality won't be another person's morality.
That tends to lead to tyrannical rulership, kingdoms and popery - which most people disagree with ... or it leads to narcissism, nepotism and nihilism.
But if "society rules", then it's the group with the most power that rules which is MOB RULE and how will we know if they'll get morality right?... In fact, we have more than enough to go on in recorded history which shows that MOB RULE never gets it right. Mob rule always leads to ANARCHY.
No society in human history has every "gotten it right". So, if morality is a product of evolution, WHEN will we get it right.. WHEN will we finally "get there"? If humanity has been around for 100k years or more, then what's taking so long? We're able to build pyramids and roads and even during times of so much advancement where we're almost dancing on Mars, and yet we're STILL NOT THERE???
Unlike the philosophy that says man determines the correct standard, The Bible presents a Godly standard which says that God has spoken, and has determined what is right and wrong; what is perfect and imperfect.
If we reject that standard, we'll have to present another standard which humanity has never been able to do.
