" But objective wrongs cannot be derived from mere instincts, feelings, conventions, evolutionary defense mechanisms, and the like. Moral rights and wrongs are based on personal relationships, specifically relationships of allegiance and love. And that means that absolute moral standards must be derived from an absolute person. So develops the “moral argument for the existence of God.” But that argument is based on conscience, a sense of objective right and wrong that is universal, that exists even in those who do not formulate it as an argument.
