The One Thing Atheism Can't Explain
from The Wise Fool Hosted by Caleb Brake
Naturalism is self-refuting. If the physical world is all there is, then your reasoning is a byproduct of natural selection, and natural selection selects for what helps you survive, not for what is true. So the naturalist has no grounds for trusting the very reasoning he used to arrive at naturalism. He is sitting on a branch, sawing between himself and the trunk. This episode is largely a reflection on chapter three of C. S. Lewis, Miracles. It will not take you from atheism to Christianity, and it is not trying to. It is trying to do one thing: open the door to the possibility that something exists outside the physical world, so that the historical evidence for the resurrection gets a fair hearing instead of being ruled out before anyone reads it. I'm Caleb Brake, ThM, and a PhD student in New Testament. This channel takes the hardest objections to Christianity seriously: steel-man the strongest version first, concede what should be conceded, then make the case on the merits. No shallow answers to deep questions. If you were not convinced, leave a comment and tell me where it breaks.
