We are made in God’s image, (Genesis 1:27) and because of that, are instilled with a sense of justice that cannot be explained by evolution alone. If I am just the sum of my biology, why do I care when my fellow man is mistreated? As long as it’s not me, why should I really do anything to stop it? For that matter, as long as it gains me an advantage, what is holding me back from mistreating everyone I can? The answer: Our sense of justice. God put within us a higher calling that separates us from all else in creation. Our capacity to love our fellow man, and our want for our world to be just all comes from the Father. This very sense of fairness points us not just to an existence of a god, but THE God.
