Defenders: Excursus on Natural Theology (Part 20): The Moral Argument Part 3

The discussion dives into the moral argument for God's existence, exploring how divine command theory shapes our understanding of goodness. Participants tackle the Euthyphro dilemma, questioning if morality can exist independently of God. They critique atheistic moral Platonism with imaginative sci-fi references, highlighting the complexities of moral obligations. The debate further extends to whether objective moral duties can exist without a divine presence, contrasting Aristotelian virtues with humanistic views of morality.
