From what objective source are “common sense” (which I believe you and I would agree is NOT common), decency, civility, and reality derived?

Evolution and chance can explain where things came from but they can’t explain how things ought to be. From what source do we derive the deep and abiding sense of what is right, good, and beautiful?

These are questions I asked myself as I came to faith. Material science was insufficient to the task.

Again just my .02...


efw,

Why do these values need a source? Would it not be enough that they are shared?
