The following are excerpts from C.S. Lewis?s ?The Case For Christianity?, Simon & Schuster edition pages 11 and 20-21, respectively.  Some small irrelevant sections within the passages have been omitted.  Brackets have been inserted as notes.  They do not appear in the original text.  These passages are merely excerpts from C.S.

Pg. 11- ?When you think about the differences between the morality of one people and another, do you think that the morality of one people is ever better or worse than that of another?  Have any of the changes been improvements?  If not, then of course there could never have been any moral progress.  Progress means not just changing, but changing for the better.  If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other there would be sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, Christian morality to Nazi morality.  In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others.  We do believe that some of the people who tried to change the moral ideas of their own age were people who understood morality better than their neighbors did.  Very well then.  The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard, saying that one of them conforms to the standard more nearly than the other.  You are, in fact, comparing them both with the Real Morality, admitting that there really is such a thing as Right, independent of what people think, and that some people?s ideas get nearer to that real Right than others.

Pg. 20,21- ?The position of the question, then, is like this.  We want to know whether the universe simply happens to be what it is for no reason or whether there is a power behind it that makes it what it is.  Since that power, if it exists, would be not one of the facts but a reality which makes the facts, no mere observation of the facts can find it.  There?s only one case in which we can know whether there?s anything more, namely our own case.  And in that one case we find that there is.  If there were a controlling power outside the universe, it could not show itself to us as one of the cats inside the universe- no more than the architect of a house could actually be a wall or a staircase or a fireplace in that house.  The only way in which we could expect it [referring to God] to show itself would be inside us as a certain influence or command trying to get us to behave a certain way.  And that?s just what we do find inside of us.  Doesn?t it begin to look, if I may say so, very suspicious?  In the only case where you can expect to get an answer [about whether or not there is a God], the answer turns out to be yes; and in the cases where you don?t get an answer, you see why you don?t.
