Topic > The Importance of Moral Truth - 1033

First, people must carefully consider experiences, and then, based on those that are reliable enough to be accepted and followed, they will be improved into moral truth. For example, Paul Bloom shares his research with children when he asks them to draw the shape of the Earth. He says: “Children's belief that unsupported objects fall downward is adaptive in the world we live in, but it is difficult for them to see the world as a sphere” (In Science We Trust – paragraph 9 – page 45). Their views will not improve until around the age of twelve or thirteen when children demonstrate a coherent understanding of the spherical Earth. Furthermore, Paul also states that moral truth is created on the effects of other people's beliefs. In his report he shows how the views of Christian parents influence the minds of their children. Parents have more experiences, so they tend to lead their children to have the same opinions as them, such as on the existence of Goodness. Their ideas could be good or bad because they depend on how people have views and opinions about them. Nothing is entirely correct, so if people carefully consider choosing suitable experiences, they may have a very good basis for belief. It's not exactly wonderful, but at least people could minimize the error rate
