Episode 2.32
In this episode, Zach and Michael respond to a sharp critique of one of their recent videos on the moral argument for God’s existence. The comment accused them of misrepresenting atheist views—doing a “disservice” to their audience by not engaging with stronger opponents.
But this raises a crucial question: Why is it wrong to misrepresent someone in the first place? That kind of moral claim assumes the very thing under discussion—an objective moral standard. After answering that, we dive deeper into the moral argument:
Do objective moral values and duties exist?
If so, what foundation best explains them?
Why don't evolution, social contracts, or human consensus suffice?
And how do we respond when people say we're “not being fair”?
Let us know if we hit the mark!
