The Moral Law

The Law of Nature can be a consideration for rules and behaviors of humankind. Being animals, we take our place in the world, but are different than the creatures with which we share our planet. There is something greater which humans seem to have that separates us from the behavior of animal kind. 

We all ascribe to some degree of consciousness, one that embraces goodness and rejects badness. Though simply choosing to be a good person comes with some degree of difficulty when stressed or overwhelmed. What prevents people from stealing? What about murdering and taking someone else’s things? Doesn’t Darwin describe the natural progression of power through consolidation and adaptation?

In considering that there is a set of rules with which we are subject, though perhaps not always follow, that governs our behavior and thinking into our collective morality. Our suggestion is that the creator of this code is not mankind itself, who quickly abandons all rules to elevate the self. The giver of morality is God, the creator of all things.
