Christian objectivism's argument from morality

Abstract

This two-fold argument discovers THE solid scientific theory that has allowed millions of reasonable people to achieve the certainty God exists. It provides the scientific, but not the absolute, certainty that God exists. This argument is beyond most people's imagination because they just cannot believe scientific evidence for God could exist. But this evidence is so subtle and such an integral part of everyone's life that it has simply been overlooked. Here are the steps to this argument: (1) Every person behaves as if an enforced moral code exists in their mind. (2) Only God could enforce this moral code. (3) Therefore a God who enforces morality exists in every person's mind. (4) Either evolution wrote the existence of a God who enforces morality into everyone's mind, or God Himself wrote His existence into everyone's mind, just as the Biblical God promises to do in Hebrews 10:16. (5) Choose one of the alternatives and take your chances. Furthermore: (6) If God is dead, everything is permitted. (7) In every person's mind at least a few things are not permitted. (8) Therefore, in every person's mind, a God who demands morality is alive! The complete, filled out argument is the strongest argument yet for the existence of God.
