Ep 4. Good and Evil
Everyone has the concept of something that is bad or something that is good. Everyone knows punching someone is bad, or cancer is bad, or Hitler was evil. There must be some objective truth outside of me, that there is some existence that is ultimately good, almost like a natural instinct. But where does that instinct come from? And what scale are we comparing these things on? To explore this topic I did some footwork, I spoke to friends, professors, and of course, my Dad.  First, I spoke to Anna Davis, my friend, to see if she knew about this idea. I asked her to explain the concept and give me examples.  Raymond Bruce Williams, a Christian Worldview professor at Anderson University, also spoke with me about this idea. He broadened my perspective outside of my local understanding and provided an understanding of different cultures and their values. Finally, I spoke to my dad, Dr. Ethan Brown, to wrap up the argument. He helped me understand that there must be a scale outside the human experience that we compare ourselves to. The natural instinct that all humans have implies the existence of a necessary moral being. Just as there is no darkness, but just the absence of light, this existence must be morally good. Therefore there must be an omnipotent God. This argument has reaffirmed my belief in the necessity of a God. If this argument helped you too, let me know by leaving a 5-star review and share it with a friend you think needs to hear this podcast!
