Goodness is meaningless without God

Have you ever asked your self “what is the good life”. What is a good person and what is the standard of goodness.

What is a good person? The answer comes forth at once, A good person is one who performs efficiently or well the function of a human being. And this at once invites the further question “What is the function of a human being? Now this question is not asking what is the function of this or that person, but what is the function of a person, just as a human being might be.

Now if humans are not created for a correct function then it is nonsense to talk about people doing good and evil. It is also nonsense to say that humans are inherently good, as this implies they have been created good or to act good, which implies they have been created according to a moral absolute standard that transcends them. If evolution is true then humans have no correct function and the idea of acting good is meaningless. All humans are, are machines who struggle over desires. If humans are not inherently good and created in the image of God with a moral law written on their hearts, reason driven by blind will has no hope in finding what goodness is in itself. It becomes an empty concept almost like an illness in the mind. The fact of morality and the clear awareness that human’s are inherently good but struggle to obtain this good I believe demonstrates the existence of good, evil and sin in the context of being creatures of God created to function good. Darwinism does not give us a rational defense for the existence of good and evil, right and wrong.
