Pagan Philosophy incredulity and irrationalism

Pagan Philosophy incredulity and irrationalism Biblical speaking, a company philosophy that contain inteally self-refuting contradictions is an expression of irrationalism. It may also be a case of inexcusable ignorance. Ultimately, all non-Christian philosophy begins with the bold rationalist claims about reality and ends up in irrationalism. The philosophy of logical positivism is an example. The philosophy can be described as positivist empiricism (pass through all the sensations knowledge), with a vengeance. This is a positivist philosophy revenge against all metaphysical statements. A contemporary form of empiricism, which is derived from John Locke is known as the theory that the mind at birth is a blank tablet (tabula rasa), and then assimilated knowledge through sensations. This theory might be called? Theory of mind blank? knowledge of the positivist school, says that with courage? s since the willingness to accept only what can be empirically verified. The positivists would accept as a statement? Some cars are red? because this could be empirically verified. A color-blind would have taken this statement of faith. A statement? God exists? would have been dismissed, because God can not be placed in a scientific laboratory and inspection. Once upon a time, someone asked: How does the review by the positivist school's principle empirically? With this release, the empirical, positivist school collapsed. There are still elements that promote this theory philosophically discredited, not realizing that in doing so have become a irrationalist, or guilty of inexcusable ignorance. Positivism has collapsed, because as in all non-Christian philosophy, which contains its own inteal self-refuting contradiction. This contradiction is positivist in the same category of those who say? There is no truth. Apparently, this is not true.Many to hold a Christian atheist materialist world view. The followers of this view of the pagan world to proclaim their faith in the laws of science, morality, and logic. It should be noted that the members of this vision of the world have shown that the laws of science, morality, and logic can never occur in a material universe. Non-Christians who have this vision of the world, continues to proclaim his faith in these things, without showing how their accounting system. This is called philosophically? Begging the question. In the field of morality, for example, non-Christian is unable to define the difference between good and evil in terms of their belief system or the world. Today, many see this ignorance as a virtue. Whether to reject biblical absolutes, it makes no sense to talk about right and wrong.In atheist materialist world view, laws against evil, like murder, are simply arbitrary social formalities. For example, in democracies in which laws are charged a simple change of one to fifty percent of the population is affected in a different direction. When it comes to knowing the difference between good and evil does not many Christians act as if they had a mind blank. Pagan attempts to define right from wrong are arbitrary, or borrow the definition of the vision of the Christian world, in order to avoid the complete failure of its world-view.Matter silent and not speak. It does not say what is right and what is wrong. The definition between good and evil is in the Bible. God is not silent. For example, the definition of murder is if the laws of the Old Testament. The Bible also clearly define the difference between pre-meditated murder and manslaughter. Only the Christian vision of the world can make the laws of science, morality, and logic. This is because God is the creator of the world, and understand all things, as defined and interpreted by him in Sacred Scripture. Nothing exists independently of their definition.Since God goves the universe, which may, under normal conditions of use providential scientific procedures to help us understand how the elements of systematic world. God speaks to us in writing with the structured logic, using human language phrases in which he tells us the difference between good and evil. Because God has spoken, the Christian has a Biblical basis for the laws of science, morality, and logic. Only Jesus Christ can find answers to questions of life. In Jesus Christ alone can find a The basis of truth and absolutes. Pagan philosophy suppress the truth in all the hardship and ends in self-refuting irrationalistic contradictions.Note: Nothing in the preceding article shall be construed as an original with me.
