The Argument from Human Behavior: The New Strongest Argument

By Eric Demaree

The Slam Dunk Argument for God

If the moral laws in your mind are not enforced by God, then they would be completely absurd, just as a completely unenforced speed limit would be completely absurd. If God does not exist, then your sense of "wrong" is an absurdity, and your conscience would be a joke and an absurdity as well, never worthy to be followed. Do you think there is any possibility, at all, that your sense of everyone's moral obligations could be an absurdity ? Think it over. KNOW THYSELF, atheist. The only people who do not know God are those who do not know themselves

The "Argument from Human Behavior" asks this important question, "Why do we all take at least part of our hard-to-live-by sense of "wrong" seriously, as if it were authored by God and enforced by God? "

This argument establishes that we (including martyrs) are able to achieve the "certainty unto death" that God exists through faith in our sense of "wrong." This Argument reveals that when we take our sense of "wrong" seriously, we behave as if we have perceptions of God's existence in our minds

This argument insists that we all behave as if we have perceptions of God's existence in our minds just as the Biblical God promises in Hebrews 10:16-This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds will I write them.

The template for the Argument from Human Behavior:
Premise 1: If we take any part of our sense of "wrong" seriously, we have perceptions of God's existence in our minds.
Premise 2: We all take at least part of our sense of "wrong" seriously.
Conclusion: Therefore, we all have perceptions of God's existence in our minds.
Corollary: Either an outlandish quirk of evolution put perceptions of God's existence into everyone's mind or God Himself did it.

Explanations:
Premise 2: Everyone behaves as if some type of lying or some type of cheating is seriously "wrong."
Premise 1: No one, besides God, has the authority to decree anything "wrong." And no one besides God has the power to enforce every "wrong" action. Without God, our sense of "wrong" would be constantly evolving and unenforced. If we did not have perceptions of God's existence in our minds, we could, reasonably, only consider our sense of "wrong" an unenforced absurdity.

Nonetheless, we are free to deny that God actually exists because of the possibility that evolution (or something else) put God's existence into everyone's mind. Even so, everyone who takes any part of his or her sense of "wrong" seriously, behaves as if God exists.

We all take hundreds of steps of faith every day when we trust our eyes, other senses and inductive reasoning to accurately reveal reality. Accordingly, it would be highly unreasonable not to take a step of faith and trust that our sense of "wrong" accurately reveals what actually exists-God Do you really think there is any possibility at all that your sense of "wrong" could be an evolution-created unenforced absurdity? Think it over. Know thyself.
