Episode notes
Existence of Objective Moral Truths
- Objective transcendent moral truths exist universally, such as it being wrong to kill or lie for fun.
- These moral truths suggest a foundation beyond cultural or personal creation.

- Genetic evolution can't explain objective moral truths because it leads to moral relativism and lack of accountability.
- DNA as information implies an intelligent source, pointing toward a transcendent encoder of moral truths.

- Moral principles emerging from cultural consensus can't ground objective moral truths due to relativism and inability to challenge harmful norms.
- Culture adapts moral utility but does not create foundational moral truths.
