Evidence for the Creator: Conscience

 Definition of conscience:

Dictionary.com: the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action.

Merriam's: the sense or consciousness of the moral goodness or blameworthiness of one's own conduct, intentions, or character together with a feeling of obligation to do right or be good.

Cambridge: the part of you that judges how moral your own actions are and makes you feel guilty about bad things that you have done or things you feel responsible for.

The conscience can ONLY be real, if it was embedded by the Creator, or some Entity with the ability to instill moral imperatives within the psyche of man.

In a godless universe, the conscience can only be a man made construct.. platitudes to control people, with arbitrary rules that manipulators convince people have been instilled by a mythical God.

Perhaps you have heard some atheists boast, 'I don't need some God to scare me into doing right. I have a keen sense of right and wrong, and follow my conscience, not the commandments of God.'

But HOW can there even be a conscience, in a godless universe? There can be no moral absolutes, nor any standard of good and evil.

You do what you think best, and i do what i want. Your opinions about what is 'good' is no better or worse than mine. Hitler is no better or worse, in a godless universe, than Mother Theresa, or someone who dedicates themselves to help people, altruistically.

'I don't like murder, or racism, but i like chocolate!'

'I think eliminating inferior, or useless members of society is good, and i like artichokes!'

Moral imperatives, in a godless universe, are just arbitrary choices, in a vast smorgasbord of amoral platitudes.

People live. People die. The universe is a cosmic accident, with no 'higher' purpose, and no moral imperatives. That is the only conclusion, IF.. this is a godless universe.

But do we observe this, in the human experience?

No.

We observe human beings, of every imaginable philosophical beliefs, following the dictates of CONSCIENCE. Humans, as a whole, follow their moral compass, and try to keep a clear conscience. Even those who don't are viewed as 'evil!', 'sociopaths!', and aberrations in humanity, that should be incarcerated or eliminated from society.

It is irrational, and implausible, to believe that the conscience is a man made construct, indoctrinated by familial, social, or cultural platitudes. It is too universal and homogeneous, in the human experience, to posit that this inner sense was just 'suggested' by human manipulators, to control people.

THEREFORE, the conscience.. this universal sense of absolute right and wrong, could have only come by a Creator, Who embedded it in man as a moral compass, to guide his thoughts and actions.

This is clear evidence for the Creator. Many other such evidences exist, that compel a logical, scientific conclusion for the existence of a Creator, as the source and Cause, for our existence.
