[QUOTE="Kylie, post: 76315777, member: 343110"] With things that are objective, then it is possible to show other people the evidence and all rational people will agree that the result you have shown them is accurate. I could demonstrate the speed of light in this way, for example. And all people who are shown the result will agree. If I have one value for the speed of light and someone has a different value, then we can find the reason for the discrepancy and I can say, "Oh, you forgot to account for such-and-such in this step here,) and the mistake can be corrected. But morality can't do this. If I have one moral viewpoint and someone has a differing moral viewpoint, then it is entirely possible that no argument I can make can show the other person that they are wrong. I may not be able to say, "You made a mistake in this bit," and have them say, "Ah yes, I see that now." And this is, I think, best explained by concluding that morality is subjective, not objective.
