COSMOS THE BODY OF GOD: ISA PURUSHA TATVA<br />

M.M.NINAN<br />

5. AXIOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS<br />

The Arguments from Morals and Values are two separate, but connected arguments for the existence<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>. Together they make up what are known as the Axiological Arguments (axios = value). They<br />

assert that the existence <strong>of</strong> values and/or <strong>of</strong> morals proves that <strong>God</strong> exists.<br />

C.S. Lewis explains in his book, Mere Christianity, that the inate moral law possessed by every person<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> the strongest pro<strong>of</strong>s for the existence <strong>of</strong> Almighty <strong>God</strong>. The argument basically goes like<br />

this:<br />

1. Mankind is indwelt with a basic moral law.<br />

2. A moral law implies a moral law giver.<br />

3. That moral law giver is <strong>God</strong>.<br />

This "moral law" being referred to is sometimes called a conscience.<br />
