Okay, the atheists argue that morality is the result of blind evolutionary forces rather than an omnipotent Creator.
This view is flawed because it cannot explain motive and intent, it denies rather than explains morality, and it cannot account for the "oughtness" of morality. (Most of us know what "ought" to be right or wrong.)
Given the widespread existence of moral concepts in humanity regardless of race, creed or religion, as well as the obviously negative results of immorality, the existence of a Higher Intelligence seems to be the best explanation for morality.
And, in Defeating Darwinism, Phillip Johnson points out the difference between "matter" and "information." He even quotes George C. Williams, who Johnson describes as having done "more than anyone to develop the gene selection theory". Johnson offers the following quote from Williams:
"Evolutionary biologists have failed to realize that they work with two more or less incommensurable domains: that of information and that of matter....The gene is a package of information, not an object. The pattern of base pairs in a DNA molecule specifies the gene. But the DNA molecule is the medium, it's not the message. Maintaining this distinction between the medium and the message is absolutely indispensable to clarity of thought about evolution."
When I first read this quote from Williams, I immediately thought of the Apostle John's words, "In the beginning was the Word". Then--a few paragraphs later, Johnson mentioned that same Gospel passage!
VERY interesting!
