Animals Have No Moral Obligations
Doctor crane's argument is either invalid or question begging, depending on what he means when he says animals have no moral obligations. No atheist and no materialist has to accept that if a child is killed by a bomb, quote, all that happens is a rearrangement of the molecules that used to be a little girl. If human beings are at least animals, then there are animals that have moral obligations toward each other, namely us. Doctor craig's theory about the basis of moral truth is not a good theory. It shows that god's mere existence is in fcient to ground moral obligation. You need not for god just to exist, you need for god independently to be good.
