The Extremely Persuasive Argument from Human Behavior Eric Demaree

A SIMPLIFIED ARGUMENT

Doubter: That salesman lied and deceived me!

Believer: Why is that "wrong?" Who made lying "wrong?" Evolution? According to evolution, lying makes that salesman better adapted to survive and more advanced than you are. You could only feel "wronged" if you subconsciously assumed God wrote "lying is wrong" into your mind. You say you do not believe in God, however, lying is "wrong" only if God is alive in your mind! Only He has the authority to decree an action to be "wrong." No one else, not even evolution has that authority. Everyone who takes any part of their sense of "wrong" seriously, behaves as if God exists.

Further, only God is able to enforce "wrong" and thereby keep it from evolving into an unenforced absurdity. Everyone who takes any part of their sense of "wrong" seriously, behaves as if God exists. Take a step of faith and trust that your sense of "wrong" accurately reveals what actually exists--God.

Inasmuch as everyone has (indirect) perceptions of God, only those who do not know themselves do not know God!

This book also reveals that if the Biblical God exists, a slam-dunk rationale for His existence also must exist! No one will protest God's judgment by saying that it was impossible for him or her to achieve the certainty that God exists. With a bit of seeking and self-knowledge everyone, even little children, can easily achieve the certainty He exists.

This book is a must read for everyone interested in the "God who is." It contains leading edge analyses of all the major objections to God, including the Problem of Evil, Objective Morality, Euthyphro's Dilemma and even the Philosophy of Science. It surprising reveals why we need to take a step of faith to believe in science. (naïve realism and the uniformity of nature).

Three qualities of "The Argument from Human Behavior" make it superior to other arguments for God. First, this argument discovers a universal indirect perception of God that everyone has many times every day: the fact that we all take seriously our sense of "wrong" (our sense of everyone's moral obligations). Second, this argument reveals that the Biblical God claims He is the legislator of the moral laws in our mind. Third, it understands that discovering God will always demand a step of faith, making an objective proof of God unattainable. However, the fact that we all have perceptions of God produces the extreme probability, and the inductive certainty, that God exists.

This book will astound you with its deep yet simple revelations about belief in God.
