"With God--everything is possible." -- Jesus

As for me and my house, I would much rather put my trust in God than in what Erich Heller, in his excellent work on existentialism entitled The Disinherited Mind, calls "the vast lovelessness of a chance constellation of energy."

Okay, the atheists argue that morality is the result of blind evolutionary forces rather than an omnipotent Creator.

This view is flawed because it cannot explain motive and intent, it denies rather than explains morality, and it cannot account for the "oughtness" of morality. (Most of us know what "ought" to be right or wrong.)

Given the widespread existence of moral concepts in humanity regardless of race, creed or religion, as well as the obviously negative results of immorality, the existence of a Higher Intelligence seems to be the best explanation for morality.
