Jeremiah 31:33

"I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

God says that he has put His law in our hearts. We call it our conscience. It tells us right from wrong. If the conscience was something that developed from culture, then people from different cultures would have a different fundamental sense of what is right and wrong. That's not what we observe. People everywhere recognize murder as wrong. Recognizing lying as wrong. Even cultures that seem to embrace a practice that seems morally wrong... spearing anyone who disagrees with you for example... still recognize that what they are doing is wrong.

Do you disagree?

The May 11th edition of the Wall Street Journal reports that neuroscientists at Harvard, Caltech and the University of Southern California have determined that humanity has a moral code built in... just like the Bible says. The article reports:

"Using neurology patients to probe moral reasoning, the researchers for the first time drew a direct link between the neuroanatomy of emotion and moral judgment."

The researchers were able to determine that if certain brain cells were "knocked out", there was a corresponding area of moral judgment that no longer functioned correctly. It appears there is a moral code hardwired in human brains... just like the Bible says.
