How can we know anything about anything

To try to explain truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation. George Macdonald

Do we have to make a choice between science and the Bible?

NO!

That is NOT where the problem is, but that is what everyone seems to want to talk about.

Take science as an example. How can we know anything about the created material world around us?

How can we know anything from what we can see using natural sciences?

We all see the same things in the material world, but we don't come to the same answers.

Why is that?

How can we know anything about the Bible and what it teaches? Every person believes different things about the Bible and how it should be read.

Why is that?

Same scientific facts. Different answers.

Same Bible. Different answers.

Why is that?

The true question is this: How do we come to our answers that we get from what we can see through science or what we can read in the Bible?

How do we think about what we see using science or what we read in the Bible?

How do we analyze what we have seen and read?

How do we interpret what we have seen and read?

We use logic, but logic always has a foundation. Jesus talked about building on the Rock. That Rock is Jesus Christ. He is the true foundation. There are also the false foundations of the ungodly.

An example might help.

Question: Why do you believe in evolution?

Answer: Because my science teacher told me that evolution is scientific fact.

Question: Why do you believe your science teacher?

Answer: because he agrees with the textbook he assigned us to read.

Now, we have asked, "Why?" twice.

If we continued to ask, "Why?" we would come down to the foundation of this person's thoughts.

When we get down to the foundations, there are no more questions that can be answered. So where to the foundations come from?

There are three possibilities.

things that we make up, pulled from the air
demonic lies
divine revelation

Question: Why do you believe in creation?

Answer: Because God revealed this to me. He spoke to me through the Bible and gave me His faith so that I could believe Him.

See how quickly we got to the foundation. This is a belief that has a foundation that is solid and that cannot be moved.

In reality, the things that we make up, that are pulled from the air, are actually from demons and all the lies of demons spring from the prince of demons, Satan. So these are one and the same.

Divine revelation comes from the Almighty, Creator, God, Jesus Christ. So there are only two choices, but how do we know there are only two choices? Because God has revealed this truth to us.

The question then is how do we tell the difference between the revelation that comes from God and the lies of Satan?

The answer is that everyone who sincerely wants to do the will of God will know.

Jesus said, "If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me"

The rejection of the revelation that comes from God is not an intellectual problem. It is a moral problem.

Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you: For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened." *

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? Matthew 7:7-11 *

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can set the truth before someone, but you can't make anyone believe those things that they don't want to submit to. They have to want to obey God.

How frequently it is brought to our attention that nothing good can be done if the will is wrong! Reason alone fails to justify itself. Richard M. Weaver

Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)

"If we are not prepared to buy the truth at the cost of our own humbling we shall not receive it"

Lies appear to have no price upon them. They seem cheap and they abound everywhere. But for the truth there is always an obvious price to pay.

"[God] has set a day when He will judge all the world's people with fairness. And He has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for Him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death" (Acts 17:31).

"There is a judge for the one who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not accept My words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" (John 12:48)

That also stands for every person who speaks the utterances of Jesus. When we hear them, we hear Jesus Christ, and we either accept or reject. Every person who follows Jesus Christ is commanded to only speak His utterances and not their own.

"When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God" (1 John 3:19)

Ravi Zacharias did two open forums in a university. On the second night, one man told him that he had brought two Atheists in the night before who said that the arguments presented were so strong that they could not contend with them, but they were going to remain Atheists because that is what they prefer to be true.

In another case of just listening to an unbeliever and drawing out his reasoning, the unbeliever finally came to his foundations.

They turned out to be assumptions that were pulled from the air. When asked why he believed his basic assumption, the unbeliever looked startled and blurted out, "I guess I'm making the whole thing up." It was quite a revelation to him since he hadn't even known that he had any assumptions. However, he decided to remain an Atheist because he didn't want God to rule over him.

False Logic to Fool People

Rationalized speculations are made up stories. They are lies. They are not logic. They are not reason. Evolutionists call their own rationalized speculations reason and logic, but they are not reasonable and they are not logical. Evolutionism is based on these lies. Presumptive statements make these lies sound believable. Every source of communication is used to brainwash the public into these lies--the schools, the universities, the news media, entertainment, magazines, newspapers, and any other means that there is. Why do Evolutionistic evangelists have such tremendous zeal to convert everyone to their dogma? If Evolutionistic dogma were true, which it is not, then logic and reason have no value because logic and reason are also random. The reality is that Evolutionistic dogma is a lie and logic and reason are not random.

Logic means different things to different people. From the standpoint of an evolutionist, logic is based on the assumptions of SSWAAFT:, materialism, naturalism, and uniformitarianism. Since these are not adequate since the 1970s when experimentation and observation had proved evolution to be an unworkable theory, an evolutionist must also include chaos theory and post-modernism in his or her bag of tricks. Post-modernism and chaos allow you to make any assertion you like. They are, in themselves, absolute license to lie. An evolutionist bases his or her logic firmly on these assumptions. These assumptions allow any tactic that is effective to win. Since so much government money is at stake, Evolutionists want to win and will play every trick to win.

This little poem illustrates how some people are really taking evolution way too seriously. It applies equally well to speculatively rationalized theologies that may have some measure of truth and also some measure of human speculative rationalism (that is, speculative presupposition) in them. As one person from a worldly liberal denomination stated: "We use the Bible plus reason." Of course, the kind of reason they use is actually rational-lie-zed fanaticizing, which is another word for making up things out of their own minds.

THE PARABLE OF THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT

It was six men of Indostan, to learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant (Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation, might satisfy his mind.

The First approached the Elephant, and, happening to fall,
Against his broad and sturdy side, at once began to bawl:
"God bless me, but the Elephant is very like a wall!"

The Second feeling of the tusk, cried: "Ho! what have we here,
So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an Elephant is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal, and, happening to take,
The squirming trunk within his hands, thus boldly up he spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand, and felt about the knee:
"What most this wondrous beast is like is mighty plain," quoth he,
"Tis clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, said: "Even the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant, is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun, about the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail, that fell within his scope,
"I see," quothe he, "the Elephant is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan, disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion, exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right, and all were in the wrong!

Moral:

So oft in theologic wars, the disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance, of what each other mean,
And prate about the Elephant, not one of them has seen!

- John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887)
