This is Ken Ham, encouraging the church to start our thinking with God’s Word.

Transcript

We all know certain things like kindness and justice are right and other things like cheating or self-centeredness are wrong. But why?

From an evolutionary perspective, morality must have evolved along with us. But how does an immaterial concept evolve in a supposedly naturalistic universe? And if we’re just animals, why is there such a thing as right and wrong anyway? Animals don’t have any concept of ethics. And if morality evolved, it can just evolve again so right and wrong aren’t absolutes but mere arbitrary standards.

Morality didn’t evolve. It came from our eternal Creator and is revealed in his Word.
