Purpose of the article
Explore possible reconciliation between intuition of justice and naturalism from a theistic perspective
Literature Review
Naturalism and its implications on justice
Absence of objective moral order in a naturalistic universe
Relativism as a consequence of denying inherent moral standards
Evolutionary explanations for morality
Critiques against evolution as the sole basis for moral development
Inadequacy of explaining complex moral concepts through evolutionary processes
Theistic worldview and its foundations on justice
God's existence as the source of objective moral order
Compatibility of a theistic worldview with intuitive human perceptions of justice
Discussion
Naturalism's failure to account for moral intuitions
Inability to explain the universality of certain moral principles (e.g., wrongness of murder)
Human need for moral grounding beyond naturalistic explanations
Theistic worldview as an alternative explanation
God as the source and enforcer of inherent moral standards
Compatibility between human intuitions of justice and a theistic understanding of morality
Addressing critiques against theism
Evidence supporting the existence of God (e.g., cosmological, teleological arguments)
Relevance of historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection in establishing confidence in a theistic worldview
Conclusion
Reconciliation between intuitive sense of justice and naturalism through a theistic worldview
Naturalism's inadequacy in accounting for moral intuitions suggests the need for an alternative explanation
Theism, with its foundation on God as the source of inherent moral standards, offers a coherent framework for understanding human perceptions of justice
Implications for further research and discussion
Exploration of additional philosophical concepts supporting a theistic worldview (e.g., ontological argument)
Addressing potential objections against theism from an evidence-based perspective
