Morality is Grounded in God.

My opponent has the final word in this debate so I will prepare a hard blow to my opponent in my last round. Yes, It is still in debate today but I would argue that it is more probable than improbable that humans have souls. Fine I will assume that souls exist. All I will say is that Science points to the existence of the soul. I'll leave it to a separate debate for another day. No, Because it is that factual error that makes us unable to be the basis for morality. The being identified in the moral arguments which you have not defeated is a being that is unchanging, Necessary (philosophically speaking) and rational to say the least. Humans only fit one of these terms. When I say Theistic oughts I refer to the oughts prescribed by the being referred to in the moral argument oughts which we decipher through reason and rationality. The difference between Theistic oughts and Religious oughts in accords with the moral argument is that the latter is usually based on factual errors refer to the Muslims and oppression of women. I have shown you the oughts base on religion and theism divided by factual errors! What you are asking for has already been given! Yes. Voters who vote based on facts, Logic, Reason and evidence which I argue is on my side. Depends on the objective of the war. If it is a simple military objective to occupy a town or village than no but if the objective is to eradicate an evil people such as seen in the Bible than the answer to the question is yes. Of course of all this subject to rational critical examination otherwise known as the rational enterprise of Morality. Depends on what you mean by verifiable if we were on a jury they way to verify consensus is if all the jury members agreed. Because you can go and look through the history books to find out how humans have changed in regards to engineering practices I will give a small example and then I will show you how you can tell the Earth is round without going to outer space or getting on a plane, Ship or in a car and going around the world. Take a House, For example, Thanks to our knowledge about gravity and the round earth combined with geometry have changed how we may place a cornerstone or something like that. Onto the 8 ways, You can tell the world is round right where you are. 1. The Moon: Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth"s orbit places it directly between the Sun and the Moon, Creating a shadow in the process), The shadow on the Moon"s surface is round. This shadow is the planet's, And it"s a great clue about the spherical shape of the Earth. 2. Ships and the horizon: If you"ve been next to a port lately, Or just strolled down a beach and stared off vacantly into the horizon, You might have noticed a very interesting phenomenon: Approaching ships do not just "appear" out of the horizon (like they should have if the world was flat), But rather seem to emerge from beneath the sea. But"you say"ships do not submerge and rise up again as they approach our view (except in Pirates of the Caribbean, But we are hereby assuming that was a fictitious movie series). The reason ships appear as if they "emerge from the waves" is because the world is not flat: It"s round. 3. Varying star constellations: This observation was originally made by Aristotle, Who declared the Earth was round judging from the different constellations one sees while moving away from the equator. After returning from a trip to Egypt, Aristotle noted, "There are stars seen in Egypt and"Cyprus which are not seen in the northerly regions. " This phenomenon can only be explained if humans were viewing the stars from a round surface, Aristotle continued, Claiming that the sphere of the Earth is "of no great size, For otherwise, The effect of so slight a change of place would not be quickly apparent. " (De caelo, 298a2-10) The farther you go from the equator, The farther the "known" constellations go towards the horizon, To be replaced by different stars. This would not have happened if the world was flat. 4. Shadows and sticks: If you stick a stick in the (sticky) ground, It will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, Then two sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow 5. Seeing farther from higher: The higher up you climb, The farther you will see. Usually, We tend to relate this to Earthly obstacles"like the fact we have houses or other trees obstructing our vision on the ground and climbing upwards we have a clear view"but that"s not the true reason. Even if you stood on a completely clear plateau with no obstacles between you and the horizon, You would see much farther from the greater height than you would on the ground. This phenomenon is caused by the curvature of the Earth as well, And would not happen if the Earth was flat. 6. Look at other planets: The Earth is different from other planets, That much is true. After all, We have life, And we haven"t found any other planets with life (yet). However, There are certain characteristics all planets have, And it will be quite logical to assume that if all planets behave a certain way, Or show certain characteristics"specifically if those planets are in different places or were created under different circumstances"our planet is the same. In other words: If so many planets that were created in different locations and under different circumstances show the same property, It"s likely that our own planet has the same property as well. All of our observations show that other planets are spherical (and since we know how they"re created, It"s also obvious why they take this shape). Unless we have a very good reason to think otherwise (which we don"t), Our planet is very likely the same. 7. The existence of time zones: This can only be explained if the world is round, And rotating around its own axis. At a certain point when the sun is shining on one part of the Earth, The opposite side is dark, And vice versa. That allows for time differences and time zones, Specifically ones that are larger than 12 hours. 8. The pull of gravity: Here's an interesting fact about mass: It attracts things to it. The force of attraction (gravity) between two objects depends on their mass and the distance between them. Simply said, Gravity will pull toward the center of mass of the objects. To find the center of mass, You have to examine the object. Be pissed off then that's your problem. My problem with Con is that I don't think he understands that the word Far is subjective so I see no reason for the argument. The point of the argument from experience is that humans cannot live the life of a relativist and that thus we all believe in a moral code that we did not make but that we can dicipher. Thus it is more probable than improbable that Moral Realism is true when combined with the other arguments for Moral Realism. We Make the names of the Laws we don't make the Laws and what I mean by we don't make the laws is that we don't make what the laws describe or prescribe! Voters, Please understand that Con has a hard time understanding and thus refuting this argument as we have talked about this before. Nothing is wrong I will concede that you may very well be correct on this point. We know that a standard exists and we know that we can decipher it and thus the argument seems to suggest that we are moving closer to some sort of standard. The Moral reaction argument. We have discussed this before. Yes, I have. The Arguments that YOU HAVEN'T refuted! It's true. Conclusion: My opponent hasn't refuted my arguments and keeps thinking that asking for something that they were already given will refute such arguments! My opponent claims things he does not defend and has wasted my time in this discussion by making baseless assumptions. I hope the voters will see the nonsense of Con's opposition to the argument and will vote for me in a landside! My opponent still hasn't defeated my arguments and can do better. Blessings!
