A response to this set of questions:

1) Can you prove that objective moral facts exists?

2) Can you prove that you are able to properly apprehend these facts through some source?

3) Can you prove that this source is the true source of all objective moral facts?

Simple Model:

  • Objective moral fact claims exist;
  • One set of moral fact claims is true;
  • Objective moral facts exist.
  • These facts can be properly apprehended;
  • These facts have a source;
  • This source is the source of all objective moral facts.

(Conditional)

  • The source itself is the means to properly understand these objective moral facts.

Expanded Model:

Objective moral fact claims exist.

  • All claims to knowledge of moral facts are qualitative objects;
  • Qualitative objects exist;
  • Objective Moral fact claims exist.

One set of claims is true, so objective moral facts exist.

  • One set of objective moral truth claims is in accordance with reality;
  • To be in accordance with reality is to be factual;
  • One set of objective moral facts exist.

These facts can be properly apprehended

    Facts are apprehensible;
    • If a fact is objective, it is intelligible;
    • If an objective fact is intelligible, it is apprehensible;
    • Objective facts are apprehensible.
    Facts are properly apprehensible;
    • Objective facts are intelligible;
    • Intelligible facts are apprehensible;
    • If a fact is apprehended, it is apprehended properly.
    • (Note: This is axiomatic. You either understand, or you do not. You either apprehend the fact, or you do not. A word which means “understood” leaves no room for “incompletely” understood. It is, or it is not. )

    • Objective facts are properly apprehensible.
    Objective facts can be properly apprehended.

These facts have a source.

  • An objective moral fact would be communicated via information;
  • Information must have a source;
  • Objective moral facts have a source.

This source is the true source of all objective moral facts.

  • If all objective moral facts are contained in a set, this set is objective moral fact;
  • If objective moral fact is supplied, it is supplied as a set;
  • The set cannot contain any moral non-facts;
  • If it is supplied as a set, it has either one source, or multiple sources which agree in all respects.
  • To be factual is to be true;
  • This source is the true source of all objective moral fact.

Bonus Arguments:

This source is also the means by which objective moral facts are properly understood.

  • The source must communicate these facts to others, if others are to know them;
  • Understanding is predicated upon knowledge;
  • The source is thus the means for proper understanding of these facts.
