One of the things that convinced me there is a God is the moral code that is built into each of us that tells us we’ve been wronged. I might be able to consider the possibility of an explosion having enough energy to make new kinds of stuff, or a pool where the soup was concocted into new flavors of life, but that the stuff would have a sense of right or wrong that is woven through all the beings of a kind is revealing. That's a whole different level and could only come by exposure to something, a DNA of sorts, or the imprint from outside itself. Animals have instincts and survival impulses, but not a moral code and the capacity to dialog and resolve problems together. If this element had not been put there, it wouldn’t matter a whit what anyone did.
We not only have been given the design of good living, but the tools within and around us to use to achieve it.
Be human today. Care. Talk. Forgive. Resolve. Mature. We can all keep getting better at this.
