William Lane Craig’s Moral Argument

1. If GOD DOES NOT EXIST then OBJECTIVE MORAL VALUES do not exist (If P THEN Q)

2. OBJECTIVE MORAL VALUES do exist (NOT Q)

3. There GOD EXISTS (Therefor NOT P)

MODUS TOLLENS - taking away or denying the consequence.

If P, then Q.

Not Q.

Therefore, not P.

Notice the conclusion is a negation - Not (God does not exist )

The only way to DENY this argument is to demonstrate and ground OBJECTIVE moral values apart from God, OR affirm moral RELATIVISM
