God created a morality independent of men
Summary
There is a moral law that cannot be explained by simple biology: human beings obey principles that do not correspond to their own interests, but to the Good. Instead of following their own immediate interest or pleasure, human beings can sacrifice themselves for others, protecting the sick or the elderly. These behaviors are part of a duty-to-be that does not correspond to any natural necessity. "Doing good" does not exist among animals. Man can extract himself from the natural given, from the struggle for survival, to imagine a "duty-to-be", a morality, a better world, which correspond to nothing in the natural world. This awareness of goodness and morality can only be explained by the fact that God has placed them within us.
