Truth with a Capital "T" #411

An atheist wrote me. He was indignant. I was quite wrong in calling atheism unscientific. But why was this atheist so angry? "On what basis do you say that I'm wrong?" I asked, "What is your criterion, your standard of measure? Do you believe in ultimate right and wrong?"

"Oh no," responded the atheist, "Let's not talk about morals. You misrepresented the facts." So I'm wrong to misstate the facts? That's still a moral judgment. On what basis do you say this? Is it really morally wrong to distort the facts? Why?

There is the matter of conscience. My conscience hurts if I knowingly twist the truth. This tells me truth is important. If truth is important, ultimate truth must be ultimately important. We are inevitably forced back to absolute, unwavering, unchanging Truth with a capital "T."

The Bible says, "The law of the Lord is perfect." (Psalms 19:7). The Bible says, "The precepts of the Lord are right..." (Psalms 19:8). This must be the case.

On one hand, the very idea of ultimate truth drives us back to God. On the other hand, God must know all. His judgments must be absolutely true and right. This is exactly what the Bible says. Here is the point, when you talk about right and wrong, you cannot avoid God and the Bible.
