  19. If there is no God, why do humans experience morality, guilt, and a desire for justice?

  20. Are these feelings the product of “survival of the fittest”?

  21. Do morality, guilt, and justice help me pass on my genes?

  24. We must have a Creator.

  25. We must have a Creator… who created us with morality, the capacity for remorse, and the desire for justice.

  26. “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
