| Quote | | In order for human beings to have genuine knowledge of any topic, certain things would have to be true, whether we recognize it consciously or not. For example, the human mind has to be capable of rational thought. The universe has to be orderly and comprehensible. Our sensations of the world around us have to be basically reliable. |
| Quote | | Most people simply take these things for granted. They don’t stop to consider how human beings are able to have knowledge of anything. Most people just blindly assume that our senses are reliable, that the mind is rational, and that the universe is orderly and understandable. |
| Quote | Few people think to ask, “Why should knowledge be possible?” The answer is not as obvious as it may seem. In fact, without God, we have no reason to expect an understandable universe.
So, although there is a place for discussing scientific details, it is good to remember that science itself is based on a Christian worldview. We must patiently get the unbeliever to realize that he couldn’t even do science if his evolutionary worldview were true. |
| Quote | | We all have a worldview (a way of thinking about life and the universe) that shapes our understanding of what we observe. But not all worldviews are equal. Non-Christian worldviews always have internal defects. Because they reject the Bible at their foundation, they end up being inconsistent, arbitrary, and ultimately irrational. |
Don't tell them where it comes from and then exclude the last bit until the end, when you tell them who is saying it.
I wonder if the 'big tent' still holds. |
YeeOWW!!!!
I hope you were wearing your hazmat suit, OgreMkV, that's some weapons-grade tard you dug up there.
If the universe wasn't consistent we wouldn't fucking be here. If we had senses we couldn't trust, or an irrational/unreliable information processing system, we wouldn't survive very long.
Holy Buddha Siva and Thor that was stupid. |
The sad part is that Lisle has a Ph.D. in Physics (I think).
