The Argument from Human Behavior: The New Strongest Argument!
Overview:
Atheists, including Ph. D.’s, scream in pain when they read this argument. Some scream about human immorality, some scream about God and evil, while others just scream gibberish. They make no attempt to answer this question: Why do YOU take at least part of your hard-to-live-by sense of “wrong” seriously, as if it were authored by God and enforced by God?! (Just answer the question, OK?)
“Anyone who examines this argument and thinks it through should be able to recognize that Eric Demaree has indeed discovered THE slam-dunk argument for God.” — Tom K Lee, Adjunct Professor of Philosophy (retired)
This argument has such exceptional force that if it gets a foothold, it is poised to turn the entire earth right-side up!
Abstract:
The moral law in our minds against breaking promises would be an absurdity if God did not exist to enforce it!
If God did not exist, there would be no moral lawgiver, no author of the moral laws in our minds and no enforcer of our moral laws. Consequently, we could only consider the directives of our sense of “wrong” (our sense of everyone’s moral obligations) unenforced absurdities if we did not have some sort of perception of God’s existence in our minds. Do you really think there is any possibility at all, that your sense of “wrong” is an absurdity? It would be exactly that if God does not exist. Think it over. Keep on thinking!
The Template of Argument from Human Behavior:
Premise 1: If we take any part of our sense of “wrong” seriously, we have perceptions of God’s existence in our minds.
Premise 2: We all take at least part of our sense of “wrong” seriously.
Conclusion: Therefore, we all have perceptions of God’s existence in our minds.
Corollary: Either an outlandish quirk of evolution put perceptions of God’s existence into everyone’s mind or God Himself did it.
