There are Divine "Moral Facts"
Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:31 am
Note I qualified "moral facts" in " ".
Here is my explanation to justify the OP;
1. There is no absolute knowledge.
2. All knowledge [truths, facts] must be conditioned upon a specific Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK].
3. At present, Scientific truths, facts and knowledge based on the scientific FSK is the most credible.
4. Where moral truths, facts and knowledge are similar to the scientific FSK, then such moral facts has a certain degree of reasonable credibility.
5. According to my proposed Moral Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK],
the inherent "ought-not-ness to kill another human" programmed within the DNA and brain of each humans is a fact, i.e. a moral fact. This is verifiable empirically and justifiable with philosophical reasonings.
6. In the Gospels of Christianity, there is the overriding pacifist command of "Love all and even enemies" thus that would cover 'Thou Shall Not Kill". This particular command from the Christianity FSK is a divine moral fact from within the Divine Moral System of Christianity.
7. However the Christianity Moral FSK is not credible at all since it is grounded on an illusory God. Nevertheless 'Thou Shall Not Kill" is still a moral fact, albeit, it is of the lowest degrees of credibility.
8. The critical point is Christian moral fact is an accurate intuitive reflection of the actual inherent "ought-not-ness to kill another human". The only limitation is, it is not verified nor justified, thus it is not credible.
9. This is similar to Henry's correct intuitive insight re the moral fact of slavery where Henry agrees chattel slavery is morally wrong and is a moral fact but he does not provide "solid" justification on why it is so.
10. So there are 'Divine Moral Facts' from the Christian's Moral Framework and System of Knowledge but such moral facts are of the lowest credibility; it is based on faith on an illusory God and is not verified empirically nor justified via philosophical reasoning.
11. Whilst such divine moral facts are of the lowest credibility, they deserve to be categorized within the subset of facts [no facts are absolute anyway] because these facts do contribute positively to humanity optimal to the certain past and present state of the majority [not necessary for the future].
12. Others [Peter Holmes, et. al.] will deny the above are facts, i.e. moral facts. But that is because they are relying on a miserable framework and System of Knowledge that is based on "empty" language and words [begging the question] rather than on empirical evidence and solid philosophical reasonings.
13. So, there are divine moral facts based on the above qualified arguments.
