“If there is no master creator of the Universe, then who’s to say Hitler did anything wrong.
For that reason there has to be a creator of the universe who writes upon the hearts of all humanity irrefutable laws of right and wrong.”

The last five of the ten commandments deal with man’s relationship to man. They are the basic moral code all humanity lives by even if they are not a Christian, Jew or Muslim.
Those five rules You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor, You shall not covet, are necessary rules to stop civilization from slipping into anarchy or worse extinction.
Hitler showed what happens when these rules for living are disobeyed. The death count was in the tens of millions.
No matter where you go in the world. No matter who a person is or their status within a community. No matter what their religious beliefs are, or if they’ve read the Bible or not, each person knows instinctively the last five laws of the ten commandments.
I as a believer in the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. A believer in Christ cannot believe that these laws simply evolved by chance.
If they were not there from the day man walked upon the earth we would have gone extinct before civilization had a chance to get started.
I cannot believe that Homo habilis, and Homo erectus or for that matter Homo sapiens sat down in committee and said these are the moral laws we are going to live by.
Nor can I believe moral laws evolved.
I know there is a God that wrote these laws on the hearts of all mankind I firmly believe the words of the gospel of John 1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
