Quote:It was very evident to me that [naturalists are not] able to provide any sort of an explanation of mathematics’ applicability to the physical world.…
The theist has explanatory resources that are not available to the rationalist.
Yes, it's another argument from ignorance: "I don't understand why this is so good at what it does, therefore god." Why is this guy still respected in christian circles? It's not like he started off anywhere good, and his arguments have only been dropping out of the fucking sky with increasing frequency... how is he still able to make a living off this?
And his problem with Platonism is simply theological (i.e. it contradicts the Bible).
So, there's that.
