A Christian Philosopher’s Faulty Arguments: On the Need for God as Basis for Morality – Part I
In a long article, “The Indispensability of Theological Meta-ethical Foundations for Morality,” William. L Craig (Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California) argues that objective morality requires a theistic base. In other words, without God humans do not have an objective basis for moral values and moral judgments. In the process of so arguing, Craig commits a variety of errors, false assumptions, invalid inference, and offers a rather weak argument.
