Does The Mere Existence of Morality Demonstrate God Exists?

When you say there’s too much evil in this world you assume there’s good. When you assume there’s good, you assume there’s such a thing as a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil. But if you assume a moral law, you must posit a moral Law Giver, but that’s Who you’re trying to disprove and not prove. Because if there’s no moral Law Giver, there’s no moral law. If there’s no moral law, there’s no good. If there’s no good, there’s no evil. What is your question?
Ravi Zacharias, in response to the objection, “There cannot be a God, because there is too much evil in this world.”

A Literal Fiery Hell?

“Over the centuries, Christians have debated whether hell involves literal flames. I believe, as Calvin and other theologians have, that such a discussion misses the main point of these Scripture passages—namely, we must take hell seriously. The Bible warns us in the strictest terms that it’s not a place we want to be in. And this dire warning isn’t intended merely to scare us; it is intended for our protection.”

Could an omnipotent God create a world with free will but no evil? The clear answer to this question is no. That would be like asking for a four-sided triangle. The very definition of free will includes the real capacity to choose evil, in the same way that the very definition of a triangle includes three-sidedness, and in both cases, we realize that no amount of added power would make impossibilities into possibilities.
