The thesis claims that the existence of objective moral values and duties provides evidence for a maximally great, personal, transcendent being as their grounding.

Sorted by relevance to query. Evidence strength is not used as a sort key because verification currently checks quoted wording, not the strength or relevance of the evidence.
