Secularism Sayings


Secularism results in a loss of shame and will end in hedonism.
... many Western universities are bastions of gross intolerance of the biblical worldview--in the name of 'tolerance' of course. ~ creationontheweb.com

"If we take in our hand any volume of divinity or school metaphysics, let us ask this question: does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?  NO.  Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact or existence?  NO.  Commit it then to the flames for it can be nothing but sophistry and illusion." ~ David Hume  If we take in our hand any volume of divinity or school metaphysics, this very statement, for instance, let us ask this question: does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?  NO.  Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact or existence?  NO.  Commit it, this statement, then to the flames for it can be nothing but sophistry and illusion.  This statement by David Hume is a statement of the self-refuting philosophy known as Scientism, stating that only that which can be backed up by methematics and scientific observation is valid.  However, Hume's statement refutes itself since that statement cannot be proven by mathematics and scientific observation.  Does the substance of this quote by David Hume contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?  NO.  Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact or existence?  NO.  Commit it then to the flames for it can be nothing but sophistry and illusion.  David Hume's quote and philosophy of religion is neither mathematical nor scientific.  Hume lived a life following a self-refuting philosophy.  "[Hume's] test for meaning fails its own test."  Ravi Zacharias
