Atheism can not account for moral truth

To start, I want to make sure that everyone understands what I mean by the term "worldview. " Everyone has one whether you are aware of it or not. A worldview is the overall perspective on which one sees and interprets the world. An example of a worldview in action would be as follows. .. Science has proven that monkeys are very similar to humans based on there genetic make-up. Now, to an atheist, this evidence would convey the notion that humans and monkeys have a common ancestor. However, to a Christian, this evidence conveys that everything was created by God. Moreover it all depends on ones worldview. Atheism's worldview is composed of the notion that humans are nothing more than matter and motion; and there is no God to establish moral truths. Since this is true, atheism can not account for morality. In a worldview where only matter and motion exist there is no standard for true morality. For instance, if one group of molecules murders another group of molecules than there is no association with morality at all. Something just happened; another phenomenon of nature if you will. There is no moral association to molecules acting upon other molecules. This is what the atheistic worldview posits. There is nothing morally wrong about a Lion to kill another Lion, or a parasite infecting a worm. Therefore, if the atheistic worldview is to remain consistent, it most apply this concept to humans as well. This is true because the Universe doesn't care. The Universe has no laws of morality. What one human does to another human is not associated with morality. In the universe things just happen. There is no moral standard that nature has established and therefore, given an atheistic worldview, morality does not exist. However the Christian worldview can account for morality. Right and wrong are determined by God's ever unchanging character. God has given us moral truths that we are to follow. Whether you agree with Christian doctrine or not; the Christian worldview does provide moral truth and atheism does not. Note: I am not arguing that atheists can not recognize and or live moral lives. I know many atheists that are good people. But I am contending that an atheistic worldview can not account for an action being right or wrong. Atheists can do good things such as donate money to a school. But what an atheist may not do, is claim it was morally right for to donate the money. Moreover atheists constantly live inconsistent with their worldview. On one hand atheists will claim that everything is merely matter and motion but on the other hand claim that murder is wrong. These to claims do not comport with one another. Therefore the atheist is not living consistent to his/her worldview. The atheist must borrow from the Christian worldview - where moral truths do exist - in order to make definitive claims of moral truth. I would say that atheists are intellectually schizophrenic in this regard. To further illustrate my argument I am going to engage in an anecdote regarding Christopher Hitchens. In case my opponent doesn't know, Hitchens is the author of "God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. " The title itself explains Hitchens's views on religion. In the book Hitchens assumes it is wrong for religion to poison everything. This is a presupposition he holds regarding moral truth. Hitchens is assuming that religion is offending against a standard that overarches believers and non-believers alike, and that this standard is clearly obligatory for everybody. Now, allow me to be cynical. Hitchens claims that "God does not exist. Therefore all people have a fixed moral obligation not to poison everything because. .. " What comes after 'because'? Because the universe doesn't give a rip? Because in two hundred years we will all be dead? Because moral conventions are just that, 'conventions'? Give me a standard to follow because it is derived from the premises of atheism, and which clearly and compellingly requires non-atheists to submit to it as well. This example could be used for any moral claim by an atheist. Such as murder, theft, rape are wrong. Again, in order for an atheist to claim a moral truth he must rely on the Christian worldview where moral truths can be accounted for. I look forward to my opponents response and hope that I didn't sound to aggressive. I know this can be a thought provoking and interesting exchange if arguments.
