My views on objective morality

[Bob Kelso]

In which case you are asserting that there is an objective standard, but that we don't know what that standard is?  If so, how do we know there is an objective standard?

I think the more civilized we become, the more clearly we are able to understand certain things. Thousands of years ago, perhaps most of humanity didn't see slavery as being wrong. (or maybe deep inside they did, but chose to ignored it or tried to rationalize it). Whatever the case, now a days we know better, and have come to understand that human beings have the inherent right to their own lives.

Hold the phone. Are you suggesting that a supreme being was incapable of setting out his objective standards in a way that people of any time could easily understand? 

I've heard variants of this argument before, and, in a paradoxical way, it seems to revolve around a subjective, evolving, understanding of a supposed objective truth.
