Van Til's Challenge: Unbelief Exposed
The short version has the audacity to say that atheists steal intellectual ideas from Christians and builds upon them, and that Christian's allow them to. O.o Thoughts! I've read responses in comments and videos which amuse me, but I'm curious to see what responses you all have to this. Discuss! |

RE: Van Til's Challenge: Unbelief Exposed
What I find humorous is that the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy doesn't mention God once in it's lengthy article on The Problem of Induction. This guy is simply talking out of his arse. Science uses a mixture of deduction and induction anyway. A large sample of results are obtained, in which the deduction is made that X is happening in all samples. The induction method is that since X is happening over such a broad range of samples, and no sample has yet contradicted it, X must be valid for all possible samples.
No, it isn't perfect. Does it work? Yes. It is the closest method we will ever get to scientific knowledge, other than being omniscient. |
