Moral Knowledge and Epistemic Trust

The discussion emphasizes the argument for moral knowledge as evidence against a purely naturalistic worldview. It highlights the significance of objective moral truths, such as the inherent wrongness of torture, and questions how such knowledge arises if humanity is merely a product of evolutionary processes. This raises concerns about 'epistemic luck,' which suggests that if moral beliefs are solely the result of chance, they lack credibility. Therefore, a theistic perspective, which posits that God created humans with a purpose and moral communication, appears to provide a stronger foundation for genuine moral knowledge.
