Moral argument for God

This work aims to consider the relationship between objective morality and the existence of God. More specifically, it is intended to analyze whether God's existence is necessary for grounding objective morality. Furthermore, it evaluates whether God's existence plays the significant role in considering the reality of moral properties and how it fares compared to the explanations of alternative and competing accounts. The main argument of this thesis claims that God's existence provides the best explanation for objective morality because it is capable of capturing all essential features of morality; objectiveness, universality, normativity. The argument is concerned mainly with the ontological status of morality, and it strengthens the notion that God is still important for ethics as competing accounts lack sufficient explanatory power for grounding morality.
