"ought" and the existence of God

in this argument, C. S. Lewis says that because all humans have this idea that they ought to do somethings and ought not to do others, it is a logical argument for the existence of God. well, actually the excerpt we read didn't really have the conclusion that "ought"= the existence of god, i'm just getting that from the title.
so in the article Lewis states his examples, gives a lot of nice counter arguments, and generally just gets his point across very nicely.
i like C.S. Lewis, he's very clear, gets the job done, unlike those other articles we read in class (gag) and that horrible book we're going through, i mean this Lee Strobel dude lists every qualification and college the people he interviews did or went to, visited, maybe glimpsed from a distance, dear god i'm not trying to read a job application here.
anyway, the article made sense, the only problem was the lack of conclusion; making it inconclusive.
just another day in bible class.
