Psalm 51

6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.


According to this psalm, God gives all people a conscience that draws them to him. Conscience is a non-physical reality. Some would say that consciousness and thought and being themselves all come from the physical- DNA, genetics, brain circuitry and such.


Sorry, if that were the case, why would I trust your teaching on this topic if you are pre-wired to say it anyway? The only thing you could do is force me to believe it. Whoever holds the power has the truth? Don't think so.


What are examples of moral behavior that is similar cross-culturally and across the ages?
