Lost in an acausal realm

 


David John Wellman (the Youtube counter-apologist with a strange love for guinea pigs) takes on the "moral argument for God" here. 

I found the clip interesting, since I used to have a position similar to DJW at one point: the "Platonic realist" position that morality exists in an "acausal realm". But in sharp contrast to him, I didn´t regard this as an "atheist" position, but rather as deist or even theist. For what *is* an acausal realm of moral principles if not God, or at the very least, one possible God-concept? 

If the acausal realm is hyper-cosmic, yet has relevance for human minds, doesn´t that point straight to a transcendent creator with an interest in human affairs? 

Still, a good intro into part of the problematique.
