Natural law is not a physical law or a law that man has imposed on himself. It is a universal moral law, intrinsic to man, instilled in his conscience. We have all heard children exclaim “that’s not fair!” or shared similar emotions over international events. These experiences show the commonality of an awareness of good and evil. This allows us to conclude two things: Human life is sacred; all men have a common destiny and a common law instilled in their consciences. If human life is sacred, then anything that protects, for example the prohibition of murder; is good. The idea that there is no objective law is a disastrous manifestation of the current postmodern relativism.
