LOC 2 Lecture 16 the Moral Argument for God's Existence contd

Oct 25th In this episode, we tackle the complexities of morality and its connection to the existence of God. The discussion begins with an exploration of the moral argument for God's existence, framed through a syllogism: 'If God does not exist, then there are no objective moral values; there are objective moral values, therefore God exists.' The video covers arguments for and against the existence of objective moral values, delves into ethical relativism, and provides rebuttals to common objections. The session also includes an analysis of three main arguments: the diversity thesis, the dependency thesis, and the queerness argument. Additionally, the speaker explains concepts such as hierarchical objectivism and normative ethics, emphasizing the integration of values and principles. Throughout, the aim is to establish a robust moral framework that not only supports objective values but also underpins theistic belief. 00:00 Introduction to the Moral Argument for God's Existence 00:44 Arguments Against Objective Moral Values 03:58 Refuting the Diversity and Dependency Theses 11:58 The Case for Moral Objectivism 16:41 The Moral Argument as an Apologetic Tool 18:35 Grounding Moral Values in God 27:11 Addressing Common Objections 28:58 Objective Moral Values and the Collective 33:42 Normative Ethics: Deontology, Utilitarianism, and Virtue Ethics 36:43 Christian Ethics: Values and Principles 40:54 Hierarchical Objectivism and Moral Dilemmas 48:55 Objections to the Moral Argument 51:34 The Euthyphro Dilemma and God's Character 55:36 Conclusion and Break
