| Circular Reasoning |
Circular ReasoningCircular reasoning occurs when you use A to prove B and B to prove A. For example, we can tell how old the rocks are by the fossils that are in them, and we can tell how old the fossils are by the rocks they are in. All methods of determining the age of fossils use circular reasoning. Initial assumptions are made, and these uncheckable assumptions are what really determines the age of any fossil. In other words, fossils can be made as old or as young as the scientist likes, and there is no way to really know how old the fossil is. Ungodly fabrications based on arbitrary assumptons and rationalizations set up a web of rules to filter out God. lThe ungodly will only accept those things that conform to the arbitrary assumptions of Naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism. Naturalism claims that God does nothing. Materialism claims that there is no God or spiritual realm. Uniformitarianism claims that there was not creation and that there was no violent worldwide flood, as the Bible and numerous other historical accounts record. Whatever they observe that does not conform to this complex filter is censored. The way that it is censored can take several forms. The ungodly may boldly proclaim that, though the data appears to support God's version and refute the version of the ungodly, yet it still must be interpreted to mean just the opposite of what it does mean. A backup method that ungodly people use is to prophecy that in the future, science will be able to explain what they see as an anomaly. If that fails, they will hide the data, set it aside, or lie to keep the public from knowing the truth. The data clearly demolishes the story of the ungodly and clearly supports the reality of the Creator God, His Bible, and His abiding Presence in His people. When confronted with the obvious, a closed-minded ungodly person says, "I can't understand it." They are willingly ignorant because they refuse to hold God in their knowledge. The reality is that these people, for whatever reason, don't what to know the Creator. They don't want to truly know Jesus, their Creator.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
