Hi guys. I’ve read many (but not all) of the posts in this thread . . . and I find several things to be very confusing about supposed “proofs” of God’s existence, and part of this may be because I’m autistic and I don’t see the world in the same way that everyone else does.
First, I hear apologists often mention our “objective, innate moral sense of right and wrong” that must come from God.
How come this innate moral sense doesn’t kick in all the time when I shop at someplace like Walmart where I’m patronizing a store that sells products made from child labor overseas? Why are we destroying the environment, killing whales, and destroying God’s Creation without the slightest pang on conscience? Where is this innate moral sense?
Second, if the Universe is “fine-tuned” for life, then why is more than 99.9999% of it uninhabitable? We can’t exist on the surfaces of stars, or in the vast, empty gulfs between galaxies (as it’s hard to imagine sustaining life in a very hard vacuum near absolute zero . . . I mean where would resources come from?), so how is the Universe fine-tuned for life?
Do I drastically misunderstand their points because of my autism?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thank you.
