Conscience and the Moral Argument as Evidence for the Goodness of God.

[Neo-Scholastic]

If the source of our conscience is not transcendent and eternal then the only alternative is that our judgements of right and wrong are biological instincts particular to our species. While it is simple enough to recognize this sense of justice implicit in the various ways different cultures express and try to codify it, doing so only yields a normative description of a compelling collective illusion.
