The correct answer and explanation is:
The correct answer would be B. II and III – “There can be no moral and spiritual absolute truths” and “There can be no absolute truth.”
Explanation:
The assertion that “without God, there can be no morality” is a topic of debate in philosophy and theology. Some argue that morality is inherently linked to divine authority, while others believe that morality can exist independently, rooted in human reasoning, social contracts, or evolutionary biology.
However, when discussing absolute truths, especially in the moral and spiritual sense, many argue that a theistic framework provides the foundation for such absolutes. Absolute truth is something that is universally constant, unchanging, and independent of human opinions. In many religious perspectives, moral and spiritual truths—such as concepts of right and wrong, justice, and purpose—are established by a divine being.
Without a belief in God, moral and spiritual truths often become subjective, varying across cultures and individuals. Moral relativism suggests that what is considered “right” or “wrong” depends on societal norms rather than universal laws. In this view, moral and ethical standards would be based on human consensus, which can change over time.
Similarly, absolute truth, as a universal, unchangeable principle, is often linked to the existence of a higher power. If there is no God, then truth becomes relative to human perception. Without an external, unchanging reference point (such as God), truth could be seen as fluid, differing from person to person or culture to culture.
Therefore, the statement that “there can be no absolute truth without God” aligns with the philosophical argument that without a divine standard, truth is subjective rather than objective. Hence, II and III are correct, making B the right choice.
Image Generation:
The image will depict a symbolic representation of truth and morality. It will feature a set of scales, one side with a divine light and the other side with a shifting, fragmented reflection to represent relative morality. In the background, there will be an ethereal presence symbolizing the concept of absolute truth tied to divinity.
Here is the symbolic representation of truth and morality as described. Let me know if you need any modifications or a different artistic interpretation.
