What could a notorious serial killer possibly teach us about the existence of God? In this thought-provoking episode of Faith and Science, host Kaysie Vokurka sits down with Dr. John Ashton to unpack the chilling case of Jeffrey Dahmer—and how his own conscience became an unexpected piece of evidence for God. Drawing from chapter 11 of Dr. Ashton's book, The Big Argument: Does God Exist?, this conversation explores the moral argument through the lens of Christian apologetics, revealing why objective morality only makes sense within a biblical worldview.
Dr. John Ashton, author of The Big Argument: Does God Exist?, joins the conversation to challenge the naturalistic claim that if God does not exist, morality is nothing more than a subjective, evolved preference. Drawing on Dr. Stephen Cowan's research, he examines how Jeffrey Dahmer—despite a lifelong belief in evolutionary naturalism—was overwhelmed by an undeniable sense of guilt and accountability that pure materialism cannot explain. Ashton concludes that this innate awareness of objective moral values points beyond random chance to a Creator who designed humanity with purpose, conscience, and ultimate accountability.
In this episode, you will hear:
Why Jeffrey Dahmer's death-row conversion is used as a real-world case study for the moral argument for God's existence
The critical difference between objective moral values and moral relativism—and why "everyone's truth is their own" doesn't hold up
