IS REALITY REAL?

In this one-off reading from the author's book "What is Man?" we ask whether reality exists independently of our perception of it. Some philosophers, and notably the late cosmologist Stephen Hawking in his last book "The Grand Design", think the answer is no. In refuting these ideas we show how a coherent biblical worldview grounded in divine inspiration, prophecy, and historical evidence, provides us with the objective reality we need to understand both the world around us and our place in it. For example, modern science would be impossible unless such a "real reality" exists.
